There is also the opportunity to acquire the plots individually at a market value of £160,000.

Access is via a shared driveway from the main road, with individual off-road parking and detached garages provided for each dwelling.

There is to be a shared driveway from the main road with separate off road parking to each property and detached garages for each unit.
