ABOUT THE PLOT

A superb development opportunity to create a four bedroomed detached house arranged over two floors dwelling with superb unspoilt rural views, nestled amongst a wooded setting. The site extends to 2.25 acres of pasture and mature trees in a private yet accessible setting with gated entrances from the country lane. The site occupies an extremely accessible position just 0.2 of a mile from the B3227 leading to the village of Umberleigh. The nearby popular village of Chittlehampton is within 2 miles and the market town of South Molton just 6.5 miles distant.

The site was formerly Devon County Council Highways Depot.

We understand that mains electricity and water are connected onsite. Drainage would be an installation of a treatment plant. A private bore hole may also be an option, if required.
The land areas available can be found on the enclosed identification land plan.

Planning permission was granted by North Devon council on the 20 Nov 2023 for the conversion of an existing commercial building to a new dwelling. The planning consent shows approval for a 4 bed two storey South facing Dwelling which is set just of a quiet road in a sheltered spot with about 2.25 acres of adjacent land to the front and rear of the site.
