Located within the historic walled gardens of Stratton Manor, the site is accessed via Old Drovers Way, providing a peaceful setting in one of Stratton's desirable neighborhoods. The plot is fully serviced, already equipped with essential utilities including electricity, water, BT ducting, and a mains-connected private sewage pump station.
All preliminary conditions for construction have been met, streamlining the process and allowing work to commence immediately.

Just five miles away lies Bude, known for its beautiful sandy beaches and vibrant local culture. The surrounding coastline is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy walking and water sports.

Potential buyers should note that investing in this property comes with a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) liability of £19,089.02; however, self-builders intending to occupy their new home as their primary residence may qualify for exemption after meeting certain criteria.
This property not only represents tangible investment potential in terms of residential value but also invites creative possibilities for modular designs or bespoke builds that align with personal vision or market demand.
