Description

An exceptional self-build opportunity in a stunning rural setting on the edge of the highly sought after village of Bishop Monkton.

DESCRIPTION

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a superb development opportunity with full planning permission (Decision No: 25/03221/FUL) granted for demolition of an existing dwelling, garage, stables and caravan to then erect an impressive new detached family home, occupying an idyllic position surrounded by open countryside.

Set within generous private grounds and enjoying far-reaching rural views, the proposed new home has been thoughtfully designed to create an elegant country residence perfectly suited to modern family living, whilst complementing the character of its beautiful surroundings. The approved plans allow for a substantial detached house with attractive traditional styling, spacious accommodation and extensive landscaped gardens and grounds.

The existing dwelling and outbuildings occupy a generous plot with two separate access points, mature boundaries and established trees, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and countryside charm. The approved redevelopment presents purchasers with the opportunity to create a superb bespoke home in a rarely available location.

This is an increasingly scarce opportunity for developers, self-build buyers or those seeking to create a long-term family home in an exceptional rural position, combining the tranquillity of open countryside with excellent accessibility.

Full planning permission has been granted. Further details and plans are available upon request.
