Description
This development site is conveniently situated on the edge of Breckenbrough, adjacent to the A167 road between South Otterington and Busby Stoop. The property is also in close proximity to the market town of Thirsk which provides a range of amenities, services and facilities.
Although the property is rurally based, it is also very accessible to the Historic City of Ripon and the popular market towns of Northallerton and Bedale. It is also within easy commuting distance of the A1(M) at Junction 50 near Baldersby bringing the larger centres such as Newcastle, York, Harrogate and Teesside within a reasonable commuting distance.
The property offers a unique opportunity to purchase an attractive rural development site in a very desirable and reasonably private location, enhanced by its woodland setting extending to 1.51 acres approximately.
The development site sits on the former site of Castle Lodge which has now been demolished. The site has full planning permission to create a substantial detached 3 bedroom property which has been designed to support modern living, with open plan accommodation and vaulted ceilings, whilst being in a rural woodland setting.
The stone from the demolished lodge is on site, with the exception of 20 key quoins stones which are on the Vendors’ nearby farm and are available for inspection by prior arrangement. All this stone is included in the sale price.
In addition, the Vendors already have some sample materials which have been approved by the Planning Officer for construction. These will be available for you to inspect and subsequently to purchase from the suppliers by separate negotiation.
PLANNING PERMISSION
The property has the benefit of full planning permission to create a substantial 3 bedroom house in a private woodland setting. The planning permission is in accordance with Application Number ZB24/02198/FUL by North Yorkshire Council.
A copy of the Decision Notice can be emailed upon request. The purchaser(s) should satisfy themselves that they can comply with the conditions set out in the Approval Notice.
