SUMMARY
Building plot with full planning permission granted for an impressive contemporary four/five bedroom detached home, situated in the highly sought-after Little Keyford Lane area of Frome.

DESCRIPTION
Building Plot with Full Planning Permission - Little Keyford Lane, Frome

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a prime residential building plot in one of Frome's most desirable locations, with full planning permission already granted for the construction of a stunning contemporary detached family home.

The approved plans provide for a stylish and thoughtfully designed four-bedroom detached residence, offering modern open-plan living, generous accommodation and striking architectural appeal. The proposed property has been carefully designed to maximise natural light and create a superb home suited to modern family living.

Situated on sought-after Little Keyford Lane, the plot enjoys convenient access to Frome's vibrant town centre, highly regarded schools, local amenities and transport links, whilst retaining a sense of privacy and exclusivity.

A particularly attractive feature of this opportunity is that the current owner is also able to assist with the construction of the property under a separate build contract, offering purchasers the potential for a smooth and efficient route from land acquisition through to completion of their dream home.

Building plots with planning permission in such a desirable location are rarely available, making this an exciting prospect for self-builders, developers or buyers seeking a bespoke contemporary home.

Overview
Development Opportunity - Little Keyford Lane, Frome

We are delighted to present this rare and exciting development opportunity in one of Frome's most sought-after residential locations.

The owner of Valley View, Little Keyford Lane, has secured full planning permission for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the creation of two exceptional detached homes, offering a unique opportunity for developers, investors, self-build enthusiasts, or those looking to create bespoke executive residences.

The thoughtfully designed scheme has been curated by an experienced local developer alongside a respected team of architects, resulting in two striking contemporary homes that blend modern design, practical family living and high-quality specifications.

Purchasers have the flexibility to acquire individual plots or, subject to negotiation, the entire development opportunity with planning permission for both properties.

The properties themselves offer four double bedrooms (a further double can be added on the second floor with ensuite if required), one single bedroom, seperate study and garden room.

Estimated End Values
Plot A (smaller garden)

Estimated market value upon completion: £725,000 - £750,000

Plot B (larger garden)

Estimated market value upon completion: £775,000 - £795,000

Combined Gross Development Value (GDV)

Circa £1,500,000 - £1,545,000

Build Contract
Purchasers have the flexibility to acquire individual plots or, subject to negotiation, the entire development opportunity with planning permission for both properties. Furthermore, the current owner is open to undertaking the construction of the homes under a separate build contract, providing a streamlined route from acquisition through to completion.

Indicative build costs, including demolition of the existing property and finished to a high-end specification, are estimated to be in the region of £175,000 to £200,000 per dwelling.
