Description
The agent dealing with this property is Mac Ref MSC Appledore
This 0.76-acre plot currently houses stables and a hay store. There is no residential planning. The plot is secured by fencing and a gated driveway, roadside access with water & electricity is supplied.
For a built project in an outstandingly beautiful and tranquil area which enjoys an idyllic semi-rural location, look no further. This opportunity really allows a developer the scope to put their own stamp on a fantastic opportunity. We highly recommend potential buyers/developers to enquiry earlier as this opportunity is extremely rare and we envisage that this will not be on the market for very long.
