Description
THE PROPERTY
The property comprises a partially undeveloped 'Greenfield' infill site, situated in what has now become a well-established residential neighbourhood to the south side of Nunthorpe, known as Grey Towers Village.
This parcel of land is the final part of the former Grey Towers Farm to be brought to the market, comprising the site of what was once the principal farm steading and surrounding paddocks. It sits immediately adjacent to the original farmhouse, recently substantially renovate as a single private residence, and borders the new Sessay Grange development undertaken by Robertson Homes, as well as the much acclaimed and award-winning David Wilson Homes scheme to the north.
Nunthorpe is widely regarded as one of the premium residential areas in Teesside with high quality mainly detached housing, plentiful open spaces, excellent community facilities and as a consequence has historically maintained strong demand and robust sales revenues. It boasts access to a number of good local schools, including Chandlers Ridge Academy (0.7 miles), St Bernadette's Catholic Primary (0.9miles) and The Avenue Primary (0.9 miles); railway at Nunthorpe Station (0.9 miles), bus links, and easy access to the A174 at Marton (2 miles) and A19 at Thornaby. Nunthorpe is also situated in close proximity to the open countryside afforded by the neighbouring North Yorkshire Moors, and the stunning North East coast a short drive away to the East.
SITE AREA
The total gross area extends to approx 2.07 acres (0.84 Ha).
PLANNING
The site is offered for sale with a valuable Full Detailed Planning consent recently secured following an Inspectors Appeal Decision on 9th April 2024. Appeal Reference APP/W0734/W/23/3334000.
The appeal was allowed and planning permission granted for erection of 8 no dwellings at Land South West of Grey Towers Farm, Nunthorpe, Middlesbrough in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 22/0270/MAJ, subject to conditions.
A copy of all planning documents and the decision notice can all be downloaded either from the Planning Portal, or via the agents website.
For further information and detail associated with the Planning status for this site, prospective Buyers are recommended to make their own enquiries directly with Middlesbrough Borough Council Planning Department. prior to submission of any offer.
PROPOSED SCHEME
The consented development is for 8 residential dwellings. The scheme was designed by the award winning locally based architect, David Mack from Summerhouse Architecture. Acknowledging the sensitivity of this location, partially sitting within the Nunthorpe Conservation Area, and allowing for previous recommendations issued by both Planning and Conservation Officers, the brief was to create a 'cluster' of high-quality bespoke homes, which had regard to the setting of the adjacent Farmhouse as well as the courtyard of Victorian farm buildings which previously stood on the main body of the site. We were pleased to note that the Planning Inspector's report gave particular positive weight to the design, stating; '' the proposal would fill the gap between modern housing to the West and Grey Towers Farm to the East. The Three detached dwellings proposed would be of a scale, design and form that would assimilate well to the suburban design of the housing in Sessay Grange. The design of the five houses arranged in a courtyard would provide a contrast with the suburban housing. They would have detailing and a layout that would draw from the rural history of the site and its relationship with Grey Towers Farm. In this regard, the design of the scheme would be an appropriate transition between the modern housing in Sessay Grange and Grey Towers Farm''.
