Description

This plot has consent for an attractive family home of around 1,485 sq ft (138 sq m) over two floors, under planning reference 24/01225/FUL.

The accommodation described below is taken from the approved planning drawings and shows the house as proposed. A buyer may choose to build to a different layout, subject to any necessary consents.

Ground floor (as proposed): The front door opens into an entrance hall with a coats cupboard, stairs to the first floor, and a storage cupboard under the stairs. At the front is a sitting room with a bay window. Further along the hall are a cloakroom and a utility room with its own side door. The whole back of the house is a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with a central island and wide glazing to the garden.

First floor (as proposed): The principal bedroom is at the front, with a bay window and an en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms at the back each have fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom and a landing cupboard complete this floor.

With access approved and services in the adjoining road, the site is ready for a buyer to move straight on to building. It would suit a family planning a self-build or a developer looking for a well-located project.

Further information

The plot is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) liability. The planning decision notice and approved plans are available on request. The floor area and accommodation details are based on the approved planning drawings. They are approximate, for guidance only, and buyers should verify them. Site visits are strictly by appointment with Stride & Son.

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.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)

Not at the pin: mapped about 20 metres away.

Important notice: Information, maps and tags on this page are drawn from the advertising agent's marketing materials or generated automatically. LandSale has not verified them. Relying on these details is at your own risk, always carry out independent checks before committing to a purchase.
