Description
Location
The site is located within the scenic rural village of West Harptree, offering convenient access to neighbouring areas such as East Harptree, Compton Martin, and the Chew Valley Lake, all within a short drive, while the major cities of Bristol (approx. 13 miles) and Bath (approx. 16 miles) are both within easy commuting distance. The wider region benefits from strong transport links via the A368, A37 and A38, with the M5 motorway accessible to the west providing routes across the South West and further connections to the Midlands and London. Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station offers direct services to London Paddington, Cardiff, Birmingham and other major centres.
The land lies off Bristol Road in a rural village setting characterised by traditional stone housing, local independent shops and community amenities. The land currently sits directly across from the historic Blue Bowl pub on Bristol Road. Any development would be entirely separate from the pub's demise. The site neighbours an existing residential property and surrounding agricultural land.
Property Description
The parcel of land is c. 0.629 of an acre in size. The plot is partially grassed, with an access road and adjoining paved area. The site sits across the road from the Blue Bowl public house.
Tenure Comments
Freehold. The site forms part of the pub's freehold title (Title Number: AV239064) and will be separated at the point of sale. The demise of the site is shown for guidance purposes on page 1&3 and outlined in blue.
Planning and Development
The parcel of land lies completely within the greenbelt and is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For further information please contact the local authority.
Highways
The land partially fronts Bristol Road (B3114). There is a turn in onto the plot from Bristol Rd in existence and its likely that this access point could service the entire plot area. Prospective purchasers should undertake their own investigations to ensure the access is adequate for proposed use.
Services
Prospective purchasers should undertake their own investigations with the relevant utility companies to ensure all services are available and adequate for the proposed development.
VAT
VAT is applicable on the sale of the land.
