About this property

Development opportunity for sale: The Bell Hotel, High Road, Epping CM16 — a vacant former 80 bedroom coaching inn hotel on about 3.88 acres (1.57 ha) of brownfield land at Bell Common, on the south-western edge of Epping.

The hotel is arranged around a main reception building and three detached two-storey wings, with a restaurant, bar, conference rooms and extensive parking. Buildings and hard standing cover about half the site; the rest is landscaped grounds and mature vegetation. Access is direct from High Road, with countryside to the north and Bell Common opposite.

The site (currently Use Class C1) has an implemented 2008 planning permission (EPF/0279/08) for partial demolition and a new care home, with works commenced and all reserved conditions approved. As previously developed land in the Green Belt it may qualify as grey belt, giving scope for residential, care/senior living or commercial redevelopment, subject to planning.

Epping High Street is just over half a mile away and Epping Underground Station (Central Line) is about a 15-minute walk, with the M25 (J26/J27) and M11 close by. Epping Forest is a 5-minute walk.

Offers are invited for the freehold interest (title EX323554). Local authority: Epping Forest District Council. A data room with planning note and title documents is available on request. Inspection strictly by appointment.
