Description
Nestled in the area of Costessey, The Loke presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot with outline planning permission for four single-storey detached bungalows. This self-build plot is not only exempt from VAT but also qualifies for a potential Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) exemption, pending a successful application. The nutrient neutrality and Biodiversity Net Gain contributions have already been settled, making this an even more appealing prospect for those looking to embark on a self-build journey.
Situated at one end of The Loke, this plot enjoys a tranquil position within a private lane, while still being conveniently located just a few miles from the vibrant centre of Norwich and the Longwater retail park. This perfect blend of rural serenity and urban accessibility makes it an ideal setting for families, professionals, or anyone seeking a quieter lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
The surrounding area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering ample opportunities for dog walking and leisurely countryside strolls, right on your doorstep. Active retirees will particularly appreciate the wealth of local amenities nearby, including supermarkets, shops, leisure facilities, and healthcare services, as well as convenient bus stops for easy travel.
Commuters will find swift access to the A47, providing seamless connections to the picturesque Norfolk Broads, the stunning North Norfolk coastline, and broader regional routes. This truly unique opportunity to build in a highly sought-after location combines comfort, scenic views, convenience, and an enviable lifestyle. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential this plot has to offer.
