Description

:
A rare opportunity to acquire a freehold development site located on the outskirts of Middleton Cheney, benefiting from full planning permission for the construction of two substantial detached dwellings.

The site comprises a greenfield parcel of land positioned off Main Road, with an existing access point in place (to be widened as part of the proposed development). The plot offers a slightly sloping topography and an attractive semi-rural setting.

Planning consent has been granted for two high-specification detached houses, designed to provide extensive accommodation across multiple floors. The proposed scheme includes one dwelling of approximately 4,400 sq ft and a second significantly larger dwelling of approximately 8,300 sq ft (including lower ground floor space).

The development presents an excellent opportunity for developers or self-build purchasers, with strong end values indicated and demand for large, high-quality homes within the surrounding area.

Prospective purchasers must rely solely on their own enquiries.
