Description
A rare and exciting OPPORTUNITY to REDEVELOP a CHARACTERFUL 0.19-acre SITE steeped in HISTORY and occupying a wonderfully PRIVATE and QUIET setting.
Potential Development Site - Spanning approximately 0.19 acres, this former cottage plot once housed a charming rural dwelling, sadly lost to a fire in 1960. Today, the site offers a blank canvas, with some original stone walls still remaining, inviting redevelopment subject to planning. There have been no planning refusals for the site.
Positioned with lane frontage and an existing vehicular driveway, access is already in place. The plot enjoys a lovely sense of privacy and seclusion, complemented by mature trees that frame the landscape.
To the southwest tip, the boundary is defined by a gentle stream, adding an idyllic and tranquil charm
Planning - Whilst there was a cottage on the site until 1960, no planning enquiries have been made, and this will be up to a prospective purchaser to explore.
Local Authority - Forest of Dean District Council, Council Offices, High Street, Coleford, Glos. GL16 8HG.
Viewing - Strictly through the Owners Selling Agent, Steve Gooch, who will be delighted to escort interested applicants to view if required. Office Opening Hours 8.30am - 7.00pm Monday to Friday, 9.00am - 5.30pm Saturday.
