Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a superb building plot with planning permission for the construction of an impressive four bedroom detached bungalow, all bedrooms benefiting from en-suite facilities. Occupying a generous plot in an elevated position, the site enjoys outstanding far-reaching countryside views and offers purchasers the chance to create a substantial bespoke home in a highly desirable setting.

Planning permission was originally granted in 2022 and we understand the usual time restriction has since been removed following commencement of the development, providing added security and flexibility for future purchasers. This is a rare opportunity for self-builders, developers or those seeking to create a high-quality individual residence in an attractive semi-rural location.
