Property Description

A brownfield site namely the Dismantled Railway extending 6.52 acres(or thereabouts) thought suitable for a residential scheme subject to planning permission located in Leicester. The land comprises a former railway line and extends south of 280 Thurcaston Road approximately 2,860 feet to Beaumont Leys Lane (number 81). There are numerous access points along the site including paths intersecting it. The site is mainly overgrown with established trees and shrubs. There has been some discussion of proposed schemes on the site over the past 10 years and a local consultation conducted in 2012 (see photos) shows there is a local feeling for site improvements. We advise any interested parties to inspect the site and make their own enquiries as to suitability for any proposed use along with inspecting the legal pack prior to registering to bid or making offers. Services are believed to be available within the vicinity of the site; however, interested parties should independently satisfy themselves as to the availability and suitability of any services for their specific requirement. The site is sold subject to or with the benefit of any Rights of Way, Wayleaves, Easements, Restrictive Covenants, which may exist whether mentioned in these particulars or not. For further information in relation to these matters please refer to the legal pack. We are advised that VAT will not be chargeable on this transaction. The site is open for viewings.
