DESCRIPTION

A unique opportunity to acquire a Victorian constructed reservoir with development potential subject to planning. The reservoir is a multi-chamber brick structure made of 6 rows of brick vaulted arches with 28 brick vaulted domes around the perimeter. The structure is approximately 32 X 32m wide x 4.3m high internally in the form of a cross and a series of cross supports. The reservoir is contained in a raised soil mound occupying the rear two thirds of the site. Outside the reservoir the front third of the site comprises a small building housing redundant pumps and valves access to the site and trees. The site is post and rail fenced to the North with brick walls to the Southern and Eastern boundaries. The site has previously had planning approved for conversion to residential. Interest parties are to make their own enquiries.

SITUATION

The site is located on Sandford Hill just outside Bridgwater's town centre. The land sits in an elevated position with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and Bristol Channel. Bridgwater, with a population of approximately 45,000 is a market town located 9 miles north east of Taunton and 40 miles south of Bristol. It has access to Junctions 23 and 24 of the M5 motorway and has benefitted from substantial residential and commercial development in recent years, with Hinkley C continuing to attract growth.
