Description
A rare opportunity in Appledore for anyone looking to take on a self-build project or secure a site with exciting development potential.
Currently occupied by a substantial garage/workshop with adjoining outside space, the property is being offered with a granted planning permission for a four-bedroom detached home, designed to make the most of its position and the views towards the estuary.
The plans include a generous four-bedroom detached residence with its own garage, driveway parking and private garden, creating the potential for an impressive individual home in one of North Devon's most sought-after coastal villages.
For self-builders, this is the chance to create a home from the ground up and put their own stamp on the finished property. Equally, the site could appeal to developers and investors looking for a standalone project in Appledore, where the combination of coastal living and estuary views should give the finished home plenty of appeal.
The existing building provides a sizeable garage/workshop space, while the plot extends beyond to include an outside area which forms part of the proposed development site.
With Appledore's waterfront, independent cafés, pubs and village amenities nearby, as well as easy access to the wider North Devon coastline, this is an unusual opportunity to acquire a site with considerable potential in a highly desirable setting.
Please note: A granted planning permission has been submitted for the development and is valid for three years. Interested parties should review the full application, plans and associated documents and make their own enquiries with the relevant planning authority. Planning Reference - 1/0419/2026/FUL

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
