Description

This is a very rare opportunity to acquire an individual BUILDING PLOT with FULL PLANNING for a single, 2 storey dwelling. Located in a quiet tucked away position to rear of The White Cottage near the center of this sought after village. All mains close by. When constructed, this will make for an excellent home or an easy to run, bolt hole retreat.

This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a building plot with FULL PERMISSION to erect a detached 4 bedroom, 2 storey dwelling. Approval was given under application no. 78525 08-04-2024.

The plot slopes gently from north to south and is situated to the rear of The White Cottage therefore, in a lovely and quiet tucked away position to the heart of this very sought after village. When constructed this will make for an ideal home for a growing family or alternatively, as an easy to run private holiday home.

Plots of this nature are becoming very rare, especially in locations such as this. The plot nestles nicely within the village and offers a good degree of privacy and will have access from the main road via a side drive.

We recommend a viewing to appreciate this slightly unusual tucked away position
