2 PROPERTIES FOR SALE BY AUCTION – Residential & Development Opportunity - 5 & 7 Burnside, Belford, Northumberland.
An exceptional and highly versatile investment and development opportunity comprising two three-bedroom semi-detached houses together with a substantial adjoining building plot, all set within a central village location in the ever-popular North Northumberland village of Belford.
Extending to approximately 0.22 acres, the site represents a rare chance to acquire scale within an established village setting. The plot currently holds no planning consent, however its size, positioning, and surrounding residential context suggest it could comfortably accommodate two or potentially three additional dwellings, subject to the necessary approvals.
The existing houses each extend to approximately 807 sq ft and offer straightforward, well-proportioned accommodation comprising a large reception room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom. One property is currently vacant, the other let, with both to be sold with vacant possession, providing immediate flexibility for refurbishment, resale, or retention within a rental portfolio.
Following modernisation, the properties are expected to command rental values in the region of £700–£800 per calendar month per house, making this an attractive income-producing asset alongside longer-term development potential.
Both houses benefit from mains gas, off-street parking, front and rear gardens, and sit within easy walking distance of Belford’s amenities, including a Co-op supermarket, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, primary school, public houses, cafés, and a railway station on the East Coast Main Line. Belford is strategically positioned between Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, with excellent access to the A1 and the Northumberland Coast AONB.
Opportunities of this nature, combining immediate income, refurbishment upside, and clear development potential in a sought-after village are seldom brought to market.
