A rare opportunity to acquire a development site with the benefit of full planning consent for a pair of three-bedroom detached houses within the sought-after village of Bishop Wilton. The site is situated to the rear of 64 and 65 Main Street and is accessed via an unadopted lane that runs between Main Street and Park Lane. The approved dwellings provide approximately 1300 sq ft of accommodation over two floors and will enjoy South-facing gardens and two off-street parking spaces each. Although the plot has approval for two dwellings, in the auctioneer's opinion, it would also suit a single dwelling (subject to planning approval).
The plot extends to approximately. 0.17 acres and has a frontage onto the lane of approx 130 ft (40 m) and a maximum depth (width) of approx. 65 ft (20 m) and a minimum depth of 36 ft (11.2 m).
LOCATION
Ranked in the top five of the Sunday Times top 20 secret villages to live in, Bishop Wilton is a picturesque village set within the Yorkshire Wolds, located approximately 4 miles north of Pocklington. The village has a real sense of community and benefits from a good pub, primary school, parish church, shop and café and is known for its annual country show every July. A shallow stream passes through the centre of Bishop Wilton, flanked by wide, open verges, creating a very pretty setting. The nearby market town of Pocklington offers an excellent range of day-to-day amenities, and the village is less than a mile from the A166, providing easy access to York and the A64 trunk road for travelling further afield.
