This listing presents a unique opportunity to acquire a parcel of amenity land in Sarisbury Green, Southampton. The land is primarily wooded and situated on an undulating site at the end of Glen Road, near a railway line. The photos show an overgrown plot with an existing, albeit rough, track running through. The area has proximity to several well-regarded schools, including Sarisbury Church of England Junior School and Fair Ways School (both rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted), making it potentially attractive to families. Nearby railway stations offer transport links. However, the property’s condition requires significant improvements. The land is overgrown and would need substantial clearing and landscaping before it could be utilised for any purpose. The absence of details such as precise plot size and any planning permissions makes a thorough valuation difficult. While the listed price of £80,000 may seem initially attractive given the higher values of nearby properties, the extensive preparation work necessary should be factored into any investment decision. Potential buyers should undertake a thorough site survey, investigate planning possibilities, and obtain detailed cost estimates for clearing and preparation works before making an offer. The current state of the land could be suitable for nature conservation or creating a secluded green space, but not readily used for construction unless significant development occurs.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
