Description
Plot 1, Cobblers Gate Lane offers a fantastic and unique opportunity to acquire a building plot with full planning permission for an impressive four-bedroom detached home. Situated along a quiet lane, the plot enjoys attractive views across the surrounding open countryside towards Eggleston.
The site has already been prepared, with foundations and services in place. The proposed dwelling has been thoughtfully designed, with amendments made to maximise the accommodation and create a spacious and comfortable family home. The ground floor provides a generous kitchen overlooking the rear garden, two further reception rooms, a home office and a shower room. To the first floor are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom.
Externally, the property will benefit from a stone wall-enclosed front garden, a generous rear garden and the convenience of a dual driveway providing access to both the front and rear of the property.
Full planning details can be found under DM/22/03357/FPA on Durham County Council’s Planning Portal.
Both the Building Control and the 10 year warranty fees have been paid for and are in place for the development of the plot.
Services
The plot is connected to mains electric, water and drainage. Heating for the proposed dwelling is to be via an air source heat pump.
Property Construction
The plot presents an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke new home, with purchasers able to undertake the build themselves. Alternatively, the current vendors, experienced in the construction industry and responsible for the construction of the two neighbouring properties, both completed to an exceptional standard, may be willing to construct the proposed house under a separate building contract, subject to separate negotiation.
Tenure
The property is held on two titles, with one understood to be held freehold (Title Number, DU393483) and the other being held leasehold (Title Number, DU396000), on a 1000 year lease beginning the 4th November 1607, with approximately 581 years remaining and no ground rent being payable. The property is being offered with vacant possession upon completion. An illustrative sale plan is included to show the two titles.
Access
Access to Cobblers Gate Lane is directly off the main road known as the B6277 that runs through the centre of Mickleton. The Plot will have two points of access, one from Cobblers Gate Lane and the other from the main road through the village.
Rights & Easements
The access track to the south of the property is owned and included in the sale of Plot 1. Please note that the neighbouring property has a right of access over the track to access their driveway. The track is to be accessible at all times. This is broadly represented by the purple crosshatched area on the illustrative sale plan. Buyers should refer to the Title Documentation for the exact legal position. Further details on this can be provided by the Agent.
Garden
Externally, the property will benefit from a stone wall-enclosed front garden, a generous rear garden and the convenience of a dual driveway providing access to both the front and rear of the property.
Parking - Driveway
Convenient dual driveway providing access to both the front and rear of the property.
