Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a prime development plot located in the centre of the village of Salen on the Isle of Mull, extending to approximately 0.37 acres, previously benefitting from detailed planning permission for the development of a single residential dwelling.

Located within the coastal village of Salen on the ever-popular Isle of Mull, The Land North Of Cuilgown offers buyers an opportunity to acquire a sizable residential development plot, extending to an area of approximately 0.37 Acres.

Accessed via a shared access off the public road, the land is situated in a rural village location, surrounded by local residential properties. The plot benefits from a mains electricity pole within the land, with mains water and mains drainage located at the roadside.

Planning permission was previously granted for the development of a detached residential house, further details of which can be found on the Argyll and Bute planning portal under reference 18/02364/PP.

It is envisaged that the successful offer would be subject to the reinstatement of planning permission.
