Description

A fantastic opportunity in one of Great Torrington’s most established residential cul-de-sacs. Plots 1 & 2 at Brookview offer a freehold development site with full planning permission in place for 2 spacious, 3-storey, 3 Bedroom family homes. With some services already on site, and the scheme already underway elsewhere on the development, this is an accessible project for developers or self-builders looking for momentum from day one.

The approved design includes bright, open-plan living spaces on the upper floor with Juliet balconies enjoying countryside views, 2 mid-level bedrooms and a family bathroom, and a superb principal suite with en-suite, utility room and storage on the lower floor. Both homes benefit from off-road parking, private south-facing gardens and a layout designed to maximise light, outlook and practicality.

With Great Torrington’s amenities, schools, open commons and community facilities all within walking distance, and the coast at Instow and Westward Ho! just a short drive away, this is a well-connected setting with strong long-term appeal.

Plots 5 & 6 are nearing completion and are available to view for reference, giving buyers a clear idea of the finished product and site potential. Planning reference: 1/0241/2018/FUL.

A rare chance to secure a ready-progressing development site in a highly desirable North Devon location.
