Description

This is a prime opportunity to acquire a building plot with full planning permission for a three-bedroom detached home, uniquely designed in a sustainable vernacular style. Conveniently located near local amenities and essential services, this plot also has the option to purchase additional land adjacent to it. The approved planning allows for the construction of an energy-efficient residence that embraces local architectural traditions while promoting environmental responsibility through material reuse and recycling efforts on-site. The proposed dwelling covers approximately 1,150 sq ft and features well-thought-out spaces, including a south-facing kitchen/dining area with oak beams and flooring, an inviting sitting room with a log burner, and three well-sized bedrooms on the upper floor. The layout further includes utility facilities and external areas such as gardens designed to enhance outdoor living. Furthermore, the additional plot of land presents further development possibilities; although no formal discussions have occurred with local authorities regarding this parcel, its location within a defined development boundary bodes well for future projects. It's essential for potential investors to be mindful of necessary conditions linked to phosphates mitigation and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), which are obligations that will transfer to new owners post-sale. This site ultimately represents an enticing investment opportunity for those looking to create high-quality housing in a desirable South West location.
