Description
Opportunity
Connells are delighted to offer an exciting residential development opportunity in the sought-after village of Mere, Wiltshire. Located on Pettridge Lane, the site has full planning consent for the demolition of the former St Mary's Catholic Church and the construction of 7 new homes (6 semi-detached and 1 detached) with associated parking and access.
The site is set to be sold as a Freehold opportunity with Vacant Possession.
Tender.
To be sold by Informal Tender. Unconditional offers are sought for the freehold with vacant possession. Bids are to be received no later than 12:00pm, Monday 10th March 2025.
The Site
The site features the former Catholic Church of St Mary, positioned towards the south of the plot, with a spacious hard-standing car park to the north. The surrounding grounds include raised areas of shrubs and grass to the north and west of the church, as well as areas of ruderals scattered across the site. To the east, the site borders the main road, offering convenient access.
Situated within the settlement boundary of Mere, just south of the town centre, the site benefits from a prime location surrounded by residential properties on all sides. It lies within a designated Special Landscape Area and is accessed via Pettridge Lane, a Class C road. Notably, the site is near two Grade II listed buildings, 1 Pettridge Lane and Hatherleigh, which are part of the nearby Conservation Area. Additionally, a public footpath runs along the southern edge of the site, enhancing connectivity.
Planning
Full planning consent was granted in December 2024 to carry out alterations to access, erect 6 no semi-detached dwellings and 1 no detached dwelling with associated parking and access arrangements (demolish existing church).
