Meridian Business Sales are delighted to bring to the market this fantastic residential development opportunity (S.T.P.P.) which is currently the site of the public house known as The Nook. The current owners who have successfully run the pub for over 13 years are now looking to retire & after detailed research into the market & the local area have decided to offer the site, which is over 1.5 acres in size, as a residential development opportunity which would suit apartment, townhouse, or semi / detached housing accommodation. The site itself is prime, in a semi rural location with a fantastic position being only 5 miles from Wakefield city centre, with Leeds, Bradford & Huddersfield in close proximity & easily commutable. Junction 41 of the M1, giving easy access to all of the major motorway networks, is only 1 mile away & schools & local amenities are close by providing everything that is required for family living.

We are informed by our client that planning consent should not prove too difficult to obtain further confirmed by the fact that there are numerous successful housing estates & developments that have recently obtained planning and broke ground in the area such as the Lofthouse Park development of some 250+ homes by Gladedale Homes Ltd, due to complete its first phase in December 2009. Additionally, there are many other developments that have now been completed. There is no doubt that if planning consent were obtained and the site cleared of the existing public house building, this is a superb & versatile site for any prospective developer & therefore early viewing is highly recommended.
