Description

WANSTROW, SOMERSET BA4 4TE

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a building plot in seven acres of land.

The plot has permitted plans for a three-bedroom detached bungalow, and an exceptional alternative scheme has been drawn up alongside respected local planning consultants, which would be subject to further planning permissions. The current plot includes open-plan accommodation with a separate sitting room, three double bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. The secondary option would significantly enlarge this to a four-bedroom, single-storey dwelling, thoughtfully designed by local architects to maximise the GDV of this site.

The site is well-positioned within the village, which is situated between the popular market towns of Frome and Bruton. In addition to the rare seven-acre feature, several other attractive features will save time and money compared with other building opportunities. There is an existing water supply, electricity, and BT full fibre accessible from the highway verge and a foul sewer already on site. Furthermore, no phosphate credits are required, and no community infrastructure levy is payable, which will provide significant savings.

It is worth noting that no biodiversity net gain requirements are applicable, as the actual plot size is less than 2,000 sq. m. The total area of circa 7 acres is then made up by the adjoining paddock, which is included within this package sale.
