Description
Land at Beeches Farm, Marlow Road, Lane End, High Wycombe, Bucks, HP14 3DL
Palace Auctions is pleased to bring to market this parcel of agricultural land situated south west of Beeches Farm on Marlow Road, Lane End — a site we believe holds genuine long-term hope value for patient investors and landowners.
The land lies close to Booker Airfield (Wycombe Air Park) and benefits from proximity to the aerodrome's associated commercial development, an area that has seen sustained interest and incremental change over recent years. While the site itself carries no current planning permission or formal allocation, its position within this evolving pocket of Buckinghamshire — combined with the Chilterns' enduring appeal and the borough's ongoing pressure for land — is what underpins its speculative, long-term appeal. Any future development would be entirely subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents from Buckinghamshire Council.
The site benefits from a level topography, making it easy to walk and assess on any visit. Communication links are strong for a rural plot: M40 Junction 4 is close by, and bus routes 32A, 34 and 40 run regularly into High Wycombe, connecting to the mainline station in under 30 minutes.
Amenities
Lane End village is a short distance away, with a Londis convenience store, pharmacy, and local dining options. The Chiltern Hills and Hellfire Caves are both within easy reach, adding to the area's long-term residential and leisure appeal.
A Note on Hope Value
This is a speculative, long-term land holding, not a site with any guarantee — or, at this stage, any application — for development. Its value lies in its location and prospects over time, rather than in any present-day consent. Prospective purchasers should treat this purely as a long-term proposition and are strongly advised to carry out their own thorough due diligence, including with Buckinghamshire Council's planning department, before bidding.
