The approved plans provide for a thoughtfully designed property, maximising both the surrounding outlook and natural light. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, spacious open-plan lounge/dining room, an impressive kitchen with bi-fold doors opening onto a raised patio, utility room and guest WC. The lower ground floor features two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Externally, the approved scheme includes two private parking spaces, a vehicle turntable and generous gardens adjoining onto open fields, creating an enviable setting with attractive countryside views.

This is an ideal opportunity for self-builders, developers or those looking to create a bespoke home in a desirable location. Full planning permission has been granted, allowing purchasers to commence development without the uncertainty of the planning process.
