Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to create a custom living space in a tranquil village setting. The site comes with approved planning permission for a three-bedroom detached dormer bungalow, meticulously designed to optimize the serene rural environment. Nestled within a quiet hamlet, this location offers both peace and accessibility. It’s conveniently situated within approximately five miles of Holsworthy, a market town known for its vibrant community and amenities such as local shops, schools, and leisure facilities. The surrounding area includes beautiful countryside views and is close to the coastline at Bude, known for its sandy beaches and outdoor activities. The plans for the bungalow feature an open-concept design that integrates kitchen, dining, and living spaces while allowing direct access to private gardens—ideal for families or entertaining guests. The ground floor will include essential features like a utility room, entrance lobby, and cloakroom, while the upper level comprises three well-sized bedrooms.

This property not only allows you to build your dream home but also offers significant investment potential in a desirable area. Nearby facilities include a primary school and village hall, enhancing community connectivity. Furthermore, surrounding villages offer additional amenities while maintaining the charm of rural living.
