Location
The property occupies an attractive edge-of-village position on Charlynch Road, a short distance to the east of the popular village of Spaxton, with views towards both Spaxton and Charlynch churches. Spaxton enjoys a thriving community with a community shop and Post Office, primary chool, parish church, village hall and public house. Bridgwater and Taunton provide a wider range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities, together with mainline rail services and convenient access to the M5 motorway.

Property
Permission has been granted for the erection of a three-bedroom dwelling with a total gross external floor area over two storeys of 141.1sqm. This is divided between 75.2sqm on the ground floor and 65.9sqm on the first floor, as set out on the plans below.

The property benefits from direct access from Charlynch Road in the south western corner. There is ample parking space, which offers potential for the erection of a car-port/garage if desired and subject to planning.

Method of sale
The property is offered for sale by private treaty with a guide price of £150,000.

Tenure and Possession
The freehold of the property is offered for sale with vacant possession available upon completion.

Planning
Planning permission was granted for the demolition of the existing dwelling and garage, with the erection of new replacement dwelling in February 2024 under application reference 45/23/00021. The vendor has commenced the development and completed the footings and elevations to damp-proof course level. These have been signed off by Building Control and the new build warranty provider, ABC+. The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) has been paid in respect of the development.

Services
The principal utility infrastructure has already been installed, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with servicing a new build. The vendor has funded the provision of mains water and electricity services to the site. A builders' electricity supply is already in place with ducting installed for a new three-phase electricity connection to the dwelling. The mains water connection is due to be completed following the planned road closure, with the service pipe already installed to the connection point. Foul drainage will connect to the existing mains sewer to the north of the property. The purchaser will contribute a proportionate share of the cost of the final sewer connection, which will also serve the vendor's retained property to the east. The property will be sold subject to and with the benefit of all necessary rights and easements for services.

Health & Safety
Potential purchasers should take particular care when inspecting the property. The property comprises a residential development site and the neighbouring property is in the process of being completed. Potential purchasers should therefore be mindful of machinery which may be operating on site at the time of inspection, as well as potentially uneven ground surfaces, loose materials, etc. Potential purchasers should under no circumstances attempt to scale the scaffolding in place for the neighbouring build. Viewings are by appointment only.
