Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a prime development plot in an elevated and highly regarded rural setting, with planning permission granted for the construction of two detached dwellings.

The site occupies a prominent position on Leys Hill and benefits from carefully considered, architect-designed proposals that respond sensitively to the landscape. The approved scheme provides for two substantial modern four bedroomed homes, each designed to enjoy the setting, generous internal accommodation and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

The consented plans illustrate well-balanced dwellings arranged over two floors, with open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces forming the heart of each home. Extensive glazing is proposed to maximise natural light and to create a strong connection between internal spaces and the outdoor environment. The layouts also allow for flexible accommodation, suitable for family living and home working.

Externally, the proposals include private parking, landscaped gardens and defined plot boundaries, ensuring a strong sense of separation between the two dwellings while maintaining an open, spacious feel across the site.

The plot presents an excellent opportunity for developers or private purchasers seeking to build two high-quality homes in a sought-after location, subject to the approved plans and any pre-planning conditions.

Planning Permission:
Planning permission has been granted under Herefordshire Council planning reference (P240309/F).
