description / background

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a single residential building plot positioned at the head of an established cul-de-sac within the highly regarded village of Stamford Bridge.

The site extends to approximately 0.1 acres and comprises a logical infill plot within a mature residential setting, surrounded predominantly by single-storey detached bungalows.

The plot benefits from outline planning permission for the erection of one detached 2 bedroom bungalow with two off-street parking spaces positioned to the side of the dwelling, including provision for EV charging. The approved access arrangement allows for direct vehicular access from Derwent Close via a dropped kerb, providing a straightforward and deliverable access solution.

Opportunities to acquire individual bungalow plots within Stamford Bridge are extremely limited, particularly within established residential streets. As such, the site presents a compelling opportunity for either a private self-builder or small-scale developer seeking to deliver a high-quality bespoke dwelling in a sought-after village location.

Location

The property is situated within the highly regarded village of Stamford Bridge, approximately 9 miles east of the historic City of York and approximately 7 miles from Pocklington.

Stamford Bridge is recognised as one of the most desirable villages in the Vale of York, offering an excellent range of day-to-day amenities whilst retaining a strong village identity. Facilities include a primary school, doctors’ surgery, convenience stores, public houses, cafés, sports and recreational facilities, and regular bus services providing direct links to York and the surrounding area.

The village benefits from excellent connectivity via the A166, offering straightforward access to York, the A64, and the wider regional road network. York provides mainline rail services to London King’s Cross and Edinburgh, making the location attractive for commuters as well as those seeking a well-connected semi-rural lifestyle.

Derwent Close itself is a quiet, established residential cul-de-sac comprising predominantly single-storey detached dwellings. The plot occupies a discreet position at the head of the Close, within walking distance of village amenities and open countryside.

The combination of strong local amenities, accessibility to York, and an established residential setting makes this an exceptionally well-positioned self-build opportunity within a proven and sought-after village location.
