Superb opportunity to acquire development lands which previously benefitted from FPP for 30 no. units.

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a prime development site which previously benefitted from full planning permission.

The site extends to about 10.1 acres (4.1 hectares) which previously benefitted from planning consent for a residential scheme comprising 30 homes, to include the restoration of the historic Brookfield House.
This remarkable site, known as the former Linen Baron estate, once featured Brookfield House, dating back to circa 1760.

Although Brookfield House suffered severe fire damage, it was once an expansive and elegant residence. The property was occupied by the Smyth family for over 200 years and originally built for Brice Smyth, founder of Brice Smyth & Sons of Brookfield, a prominent name in the linen industry.

The proposed development enjoys access via Scarva Road and is surrounded by established residential properties, enhancing its appeal and connectivity.
