New contemporary home planned for £16,000 plot

A plot of land is up for auction with a guide of £16,000 and planning already lodged for a modern three-bedroom detached bungalow.

The proposal, registered with Telford & Wrekin Council under reference TWC/2026/0113, outlines the erection of a single-storey dwelling designed with a contemporary aesthetic. According to the plans, the completed home will feature a lounge, kitchen-diner, a family bathroom, and three bedrooms, including a master suite.

The Gower Street plot, which is set to go under the hammer this month, includes provision for a private driveway with two parking spaces and a surrounding garden.

Market data suggests the project holds significant potential for developers or self-builders. While detached house prices in the TF2 9BL area currently average around £282,038, experts suggest that a high-specification build following the architect’s vision could see the property’s value reach up to £350,000 upon completion.

The location sits in a well-established residential pocket of Telford, positioned close to Granville Country Park and within easy reach of local supermarkets and retail outlets. The site also benefits from strong transport links, including proximity to the M54 and Telford Central rail station.

The land is scheduled for a timed online auction on 12 March 2026, between 10am and 3pm.
