Description
Exceptional Building Plot with Full Planning Consent Extending to Approximately 0.84 Acres (3,400 sqm)
A rare opportunity to acquire the largest and final remaining building plot within an exclusive development of just three homes in the heart of the Wye Valley National Landscape.
Extending to approximately 3,400 sqm (0.84 acres), Plot 1 is around one third larger than the neighbouring plots which have already been sold and are currently under development. The plot also benefits from its own area of woodland, creating a private and attractive setting for a substantial family home.
Full planning consent has been granted for an impressive four-bedroom detached residence designed to complement the surrounding area whilst providing generous, modern living accommodation. The approved design features multiple reception spaces, a study, utility room, integrated garage and a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space with bi-fold doors opening onto a balcony terrace, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the surrounding outlook.
The lower ground floor provides four double bedrooms, including two en suite bedrooms and a family bathroom. The approved layout has been carefully designed to create a spacious executive home that makes the most of its unique setting and attractive double-aspect countryside views.
As the final plot available within this sought-after scheme, Plot 1 presents an increasingly rare opportunity to create a bespoke home in one of Herefordshire's most desirable locations.
Location
Situated within the beautiful Wye Valley National Landscape, Bishopswood enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting surrounded by rolling countryside whilst remaining well connected to nearby towns and amenities.
The renowned beauty spots of the River Wye and Symonds Yat are both within easy reach, offering exceptional walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits. The market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth provide a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities, while Hereford and Gloucester are also easily accessible
The A40 lies approximately 2.5 miles away, providing excellent transport links to the M50, M5 and wider motorway network.
Combining rural tranquillity with everyday convenience, Plot 1 offers the opportunity to build an exceptional home in a highly sought-after location.
PLANNING INFORMATION
Full planning consent was approved under Planning Application Reference 212222,
dated 5th May 2022, for "Proposed 3 no. detached dwellings, with detached garage
for existing house and associated works."
The Vendors have undertaken significant professional works in the form of a
Geotechnical Survey Report and Structural/civil engineering report to alleviate any
"unknowns" that buyers might have and also to significantly reduce any elapsed
time issues in having these works undertaken and approved by any prospective
purchasers. Application to Discharge Conditions was submitted on 18th April 2024,
under Planning Reference 241032, and approved on 13th May 2024. Site works were
undertaken in 2024. The planning permission has now been secured in perpetuity as
confirmed by Herefordshire Council in December 2024.
