Property Description

A freehold builders yard with planning permission for the erection of 5 bungalows located within a popular residential area close to amenities and public transport, set behind secure gates and a double width entrance. The site extends 8,796 sq ft (or thereabouts). The site is mainly rectangular (T-shaped) and has had most of the buildings demolished. We noted two buildings to the West of the site which could potentially be refurbished, along with an office in serviceable condition. We noted gas and electricity supply on site (not tested) and evidence of a section of drainage appearing to be connected to the mains sewerage, although this was a brief visual inspection. We have had site of a report stating this section of drainage has been laid to record commencement of works and avoid the application of section 32. We advise interested parties to visit the site and make their own enquiries. This includes planning reference and number KET/2018/0293 Northamptonshire Council along with inspecting the legal pack available from SDL website. We feel the site may also be suitable for an alternate light commercial use, perhaps the creation of small industrial units/workshops or dark kitchens (subject to planning). We also note a substantial demand for parking within the area and there may be potential to create allocated parking again subject to any planning required. Prospective buyers must make all necessary independent enquiries in this respect for their specific, intended use prior to placing their bid, as this will be binding.
