The Accommodation

This rare and exciting opportunity offers the chance to build a luxurious new home on a generous 0.6-acre plot, with Full planning permission (UTT/24/2606/DFO), granted in December 2024, allows for the creation of a striking residence combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

The result is a home that not only sits comfortably within its semi-rural surroundings but also maximises light and the far-reaching countryside views to the rear.
