On Seymour Court Road, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7 3DB
An extremely rare opportunity for you to own a good sized parcel of land in one of the UK’s most prestigious locations. This gently sloping parcel of grazing land measures 2 acres, enjoys good road frontage and is enclosed in the main by a mixture of mature hedgerow and trees.
The land is superbly located on the northern edge of Marlow, an affluent town on the River Thames with an abundance of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. Lying west of the A404, the area benefits from fantastic transport links making the site easily accessible from London, Oxford and the Midlands via the M40 and from London Heathrow and the South West via the M4.
House prices in Marlow are 123% above the national average reflecting the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property – including land. It’s not surprising then to learn that there is a need for housing within the district and to that end the Local Plan has removed 6 sites from the Green Belt that wholly lie within the AONB and allocated them for development.
The site enjoys road frontage onto Seymour Plain from where the land can be accessed via a secure gate.
The land is situated within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the Green Belt. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.
The land is subject to an Overage based on 25% of any uplift in value following the grant of planning permission for development other than that which is for agricultural or equestrian purposes. The Overage period is 20 years from April 2021.
The land is offered for sale by private treaty. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion. If you have an alternative budget or size requirement, we may be able to help. Please call 01727 701330 for more information.
Land values have risen by 6% in the last year.
Pasture land prices in the region are 15% higher than the average as land values continued to rise last quarter. In the past year, land values have risen 6%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK house prices and interest from savings in the bank.
These increases are also outpacing inflation as land continues to be seen as a tangible safe-haven for investment. Investors are also competing with a wide variety of lifestyle and environmentally-motivated buyers as demand once again outstrips supply.
