Set within the sought-after South Gloucestershire village of Old Down, this attractive development plot offers full planning permission for an impressive, architect-designed detached home in a peaceful, no-through lane setting.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors with the main living spaces located on the ground floor, designed to connect directly with the garden and outdoor areas.

Planning reference: P25/02192/RVC.
