Prime residential development opportunity in one of the finest villages of West Yorkshire.

The original structure of the Corner Café dates back to the 17th Century and was at the time serving as a drovers inn, regularly servicing travellers from Scotland to London, playing an integral part in moving livestock.

An almost unique opportunity to acquire this prime residential development site which is being offered for sale with detailed planning consent and vacant possession. The site sits within the heart of the village occupying a prominent position to enjoy the village lifestyle, in what is deemed to be a sought-after location.

The dwellings have been carefully designed to maximise space and retain as much character as possible, and both properties will offer almost 1,400 sq.ft. of living accommodation with generous gardens and garages. Of course, there is an option to renovate the existing dwelling and remain as one, with potential independent living accommodation for elderly parents.

In July 2022, formal planning permission was granted for the L shape existing building to be converted into two dwellings with replacement detached garages and new access. Permission is granted for the development in accordance with the plans and specifications approved under the notice of decision.

By Decision number 22/00568/FUL detailed planning consent dated the 4th July 2022, has been granted for the conversion of existing build to two dwellings, replacement garage block and alterations to access. A full set of plans are available on request from the selling agent. Please note the large paddock edged in red is not included within the sale.

If the property is converted into two separate dwellings as per the planning, the purchasers will be liable for a SIL payment (community infrastructure levy payment) for the amount of £3543.51.
