Freehold Development Opportunity

The site is located off Manor Road in Medomsley, an attractive village situated approximately 2 miles northeast of the town of Consett in County Durham. Nestled in a semi-rural setting with scenic views of the surrounding countryside, the village offers good local amenities including a shop, several country pubs, a village hall, a primary school, and close proximity to the North Pennines National Landscape. Medomsley is a popular residential area, and its proximity to the A692 road offers convenient access to the A1, making it a popular commuter location for Newcastle (located 13 miles southeast), Gateshead, and the wider region. The freehold asset management and development opportunity occupies an area of 1.99 hectares (4.92 acres) and currently comprises the Manor House, a former residential care home which has been vacant for a number of years and is in a poor state of repair. The site borders woodland to the west and undeveloped greenfield land to the north containing a tree line extending round to residential properties abutting the site to the east. The south of the site is bound by Manor Road (B6310), which provides the primary access. The site may be suitable for residential development, subject to all necessary consents and permissions. A previous consent was granted in 2015 for the development of 14 dwellings through conversion and new build under reference DM/14/03553/FPA, involving the conversion of the Manor House Care Home into three dwellings and the development of 11 new houses on the site adjacent to the care home. All interested parties must satisfy themselves with relevant information from Durham County Council.
