Description

An attractive site on the edge of a picturesque Market Town of Rothbury. The site extends to approximately 0.2 hectare (half an acre) and has detailed planning permission for construction of 2 No. detached houses. The site is located within the boundary of Cragside Gardens and the proposed development would follow the pattern of the newly constructed estate. Vehicle access to the dwellings will be via an access road directly from Garleigh Road (B6342) with pedestrian access via a link footpath to the existing shared

There are two different house types, but each one is 4 bedroomed. Which should be constructed in conjunction with the Design and Access Statement (downloadable).
