Description

Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold parcel of commercial land extending to approximately 1.8 acres, this substantial site occupies a prominent roadside position with direct access, situated in an attractive semi-rural Somerset setting. The land’s strategic location, combined with its generous size and visibility, makes it an appealing prospect for a wide range of purchasers, including investors, land buyers, equestrian or amenity users, and those seeking a long-term land banking opportunity. The site offers significant potential for a variety of uses (subject to obtaining the relevant consents), whether for strategic investment purposes, amenity enhancement, or other commercial interests. The surrounding area is characterised by a blend of open countryside and accessible transport links, offering both tranquillity and convenience. The title to the property contains a historic restrictive covenant, which states that no dwellinghouses of any description may be erected on the land, thereby preserving its open character and limiting future residential development. This covenant should be carefully considered by prospective purchasers when assessing the site’s suitability for their intended use. The land is easily accessible and benefits from excellent road frontage, enhancing its appeal for commercial or amenity purposes. Its semi-rural location ensures a peaceful environment, while still being within easy reach of local towns, services, and major routes across Somerset. This is an exceptional chance to secure a versatile and well-located parcel of land, ideal for those seeking a strategic asset or a site with amenity or equestrian potential.To have a viewing please visit the land using the location given in the bullet points.
