DESCRIPTION: Prime development land of approximately 0.8 of an acre already with approved planning permission (WD/2022/0334) granted for 4 detached luxury four double bedroom properties of circa 2,152 square feet each. Three of which are houses and one of which is a 4 double bedroom chalet house.

This attractive level development land, is in our opinion located in a very desirable semi- rural location, being situated on the outskirts of Ninfield village. This building land is positioned directly in front of grass meadows, which we understand is currently a strategic
land gap that is to be preserved and protected. Furthermore, once these 4 detached luxury family homes are built by whichever developer purchases this prime site, it is likely that the properties, will also enjoy far reaching rural views.

The properties are to be accessed by their own shared driveway from Ninfield Road, which is currently only intended to serve these four village luxury development plots.

Each of the four detached 4 double bedroom luxury village plots have fairly generous rear gardens, as well as garaging and further driveway parking.

It is very rare for developers to be able to purchase the more select small village development land sites currently with planning permission, especially for the more popular mid-sized range of luxury homes of in excess of 2,000 square feet and are currently selling for circa £900,000 to £995,000 price ranges in today’s housing market.

In particular, we as selling agents are finding that these particular sized select village homes on these small more bespoke developments usually attract London cash buyers.

Each of the detached 4 double bedroom designs have excellent solar and energy efficiency designs incorporated, including electric car charging and air source heat pumps etc, which when also combined with the new high specification of insulation, will make these properties very attractive for the more energy and environmental conscious buyers when completed.

Attached to our marketing particulars also are some various projected GDV figures and calculations which show the significant profit margins and of course how they vary further depending upon the developers own build costs.

CURRENT CONSERVATIVE & VERY REALISTIC APPROXIMATE PROJECTED SALE PRICES FOR EACH UNIT = £929,950 x 4
units Creates a projected GDV (Gross development value) of £3,719,800

Of course, if we are the instructed selling agents appointed for the remarketing of the site, as the selling agents for the finished properties we will work at achieving these figures as a minimum.

However, in our opinion currently we feel the existing final selling prices for plots 1,2 & 3 would be circa £995,000 and plot 4 £925,000, (which is currently a chalet house).
