About this property

** Offers and proposals will be considered on a subject to planning permission basis **

Development Opportunity – Land and Buildings at 1 Nicholson Street, Newport, Isle of Wight.

The Site: Measuring approx. 1.65 acres (0.67 ha) this irregular shaped site consists of the main detached grade II Listed residential building in excess of 3000 sqft, which is boarded up and in need of modernisation, in addition there are number of other single storey out buildings which are also in a dilapidated condition.

There is a large amount of foliage on the site that may include invasive plants, we have checked local authority records and there does not appear to be any tree preservation orders, however we advise interested parties to be satisfied by making their own enquires.

The site is accessed via Nicholson Street which is an adopted highway

Development Potential: The site is situated within Key Regeneration and Primary Settlement Boundary under the jurisdiction of Isle of Wight Council. There are private residential dwellings surrounding the site and is not in a conservation area or inside a flood zone. It is therefore considered that a residential development, for new build dwellings, perhaps creating a new access on to Horsebridge Hill (A3020) and the conversion or refurbishment of the Grade II building could be favourable, subject to planning permission.

Local authority Designation: The property falls within the administrative boundary of Isle of Wight Council https://www.iow.gov.uk/home

Locality: The site is nestled close to Parkhurst Forest with easy access from Horsebridge Hill that links Cowes & Newport, located approximately 1.8 miles to the North of Newport Town Centre, with Newport being the ‘capital’ town of the Isle of Wight.

It is located approximately 20 miles to the south of Portsmouth & Southampton on the south coast of mainland Britain, with local vehicle & passenger ferry ports within a 15 minute drive away that offer efficient transport links in to London & across the south.
