Description
An opportunity to purchase a plot of freehold land with planning permission for a detached two or three bedroom house close to the centre of Morpeth.
Planning permission is granted for a two storey, two bedroom detached house. The current design provides approximately 1,195 sq. ft. of internal living space. Depending on configuration the house could also provide three bedrooms if desired. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, the site has open views of Morpeth town centre to the North. The full details of the planning permission and architects designs can be reviewed on Northumberland County Council Planning Portal with the following reference: 26/01962/FUL.
Whilst planning permission was granted based on the existing designs, the internal configuration and external appearance can be adjusted to suit the buyers preferences subject to discussion (and consent depending on proposed changes) with Northumberland County Council Planning Officers.
Mains electricity, gas, water and sewerage are all available as well as fibre broadband. Buyers are recommended to seek independent advice as to the availability and cost of connection to these services to meet their requirements. The site is accessed from Castle Bank (A197) on a private road.
The site is a five minute walk to Morpeth town centre where there is an excellent range of shops, bars, restaurants and other facilities. The train station is also only a five minute walk away, providing good links to both Newcastle and further afield. Newcastle International Airport is only 15 miles away.
Viewings are strictly by prior appointment with Harry Douglas Estate Agency.
