Land for sale

Mainsforth, Ferryhill DL17

Price is £140,000 per plot. A rare opportunity to purchase land with lapsed planning permission (the owner is in the process of re-applying for new planning permission) in a sought after location in the picturesque village of Mainsforth. Being surrounded by areas with a conservation order, the plots sit within the grounds of what was the historic Mainsforth Castle and still has the original listed gates. The plot is approximately a quarter of an acre in size and has lapsed outline planning permission for the development of a four bedroom detached house, as does a similar sized adjacent plot. Negotiation on the two plots together, or a variation in the exact size of the individual plots would also be welcomed by the seller. Mainsforth is a pleasant village, surrounded by leafy green countryside, located approximately nine miles from the cathedral city of Durham and is a short drive from the A1m and A19. Viewing by appointment only.
