PlotDescription
A vacant hillside plot on the southern edge of Cwmavon, above the A4107, with open views across the surrounding landscape and towards the settlement. The listing states that planning has been approved for a four-bedroom detached home. The supplied drawings show a proposed three-storey design with a basement, garage and substantial living accommodation; the plans label the total area as 3,020 sq ft.
The site is described as a continuation of Forest Lodge Lane, a private maintained road serving an established group of homes, with access from the B4282. The land is currently pasture and sits among individual houses in a hillside setting. Buyers should verify the planning decision, its conditions and expiry, as well as access, services, ground conditions and the practical costs of building on the sloping site.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial hillside plot with planning stated as approved for a detached four-bedroom home, and architectural drawings for a multi-level design. The open mountain views, nearby individual homes and scope to shape a new house make it a distinctive build project; check the planning decision and conditions, and confirm the design can be delivered as intended.
The score is 39/100 (E), reflecting limited evidence on value and build economics rather than a judgement that the £150,000 asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be assessed. The land is sloping and the proposed scheme includes a basement, while ground conditions, services, build costs and end value are not evidenced, so this is a substantial project to cost and programme carefully.
Key opportunities
- Use the stated planning approval and included drawings as a starting point for a bespoke four-bedroom, multi-level detached home.
- Shape the substantial hillside plot around the open mountain views, with the proposed basement offering scope to make use of the sloping site.
- Create a landscaped private setting and off-road parking beside an established lane of individual detached homes.
Key risks
- A sloping site and proposed basement make this a full new-build programme, not a cosmetic project; establish ground conditions, services, build costs and delivery timescales before committing.
