Description

This exceptional building plot is situated in a desirable rural area, complete with detailed planning consent for a spacious three-bedroom detached home. The plot features a separate carport, gardens, and offers lovely views to the rear. Located just half a mile from the charming village of Woolhope, it backs onto open farmland, providing a peaceful setting while still being conveniently close to market towns such as Ledbury (7 miles) and Ross-on-Wye (9 miles), both of which have access to the M50 motorway. The cathedral city of Hereford is also just 9 miles away. Woolhope boasts local amenities including two public houses, a church, a village hall, and sports facilities, all set within an area of outstanding natural beauty known for its numerous footpaths and woodland walks. Nearby Fownhope offers additional services such as a shop/post office, butchers, Wye Leisure, and a primary school. The property is within the secondary school catchment area for The Bishop of Hereford Bluecoat School. The plot itself is predominantly level and spans approximately 0.22 acres. The proposed ground floor layout includes an entrance hall, cloaks cupboard, open-plan kitchen/living space, study, utility room, and WC. The first floor is designed to accommodate three bedrooms, two ensuite bathrooms, and a shower room. Additionally, there is consent for a detached carport. Planning permission for the site was granted on June 10, 2016 (Application Number 160003) for a pair of detached houses. With Plot 2 already constructed, this presents an ideal opportunity for a self-builder to create a beautiful home tailored to their specifications. Services are understood to include mains electricity and water brought to the site (subject to confirmation), while purchasers will need to install their own packaged sewage treatment system. Viewing is available by site inspection during reasonable daylight hours.

Confidence: LOW

This property represents an excellent opportunity for those looking to build their dream home in a picturesque rural setting. With detailed planning consent already in place for a spacious three-bedroom detached house, you can hit the ground running on your self-build project. The plot measures approximately 0.22 acres and offers lovely views over open farmland, making it a serene place to create a family home.

While the asking price of £160,000 does not allow for a direct comparison to local £/sqf due to the absence of specific floor area data, it remains a reasonable entry point for a plot with approved plans in this sought-after area. The property is located in Woolhope, which is close to various local amenities and surrounded by stunning natural beauty, adding to its appeal. This is a rare chance to take advantage of a building plot in a desirable location, perfect for those with a vision for a new home.
