Land for sale

Rowrah, Frizington CA26

An excellent opportunity to acquire a versatile 2.38 acre commercial site comprising a secure enclosed compound together with adjoining potential development land. The main compound extends to approximately 1.38 acres and is fully enclosed by steel palisade fencing with two gated access points. The surface is predominantly compacted hardcore with tarmac entrances and a concrete pad area, offering a solid base for portacabin/ temporary building siting if required.

Adjoining the compound is a further 1.00 acre parcel of largely undeveloped land. The plot is partly surfaced with compacted hardcore, with the remaining area laid to grass that gently slopes down towards a beck along the eastern boundary. The plot is well-defined by timber post and wire fencing, with a section of traditional stone wall.

The property is suitable for a variety of commercial uses and offers an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors seeking rental income, or purchasers looking to explore future development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and other consents.
