Description

- We are delighted to present this exceptional development opportunity located on the edge of the sought-after village of Ashcott. The site extends to approximately 0.38 acres and currently comprises bare land with outline planning consent for up to three custom-build dwellings.

• Outline planning consent for up to 3 self-build units

• Purchaser must have a historical link to the village of Ashcott

• Final purchaser must commit to residing at the property for a minimum of 2 years (as per planning conditions)

• Attractive location on the outskirts of a vibrant Somerset village

This is a rare opportunity to create bespoke homes in a desirable rural setting while benefiting from strong community ties and excellent local amenities.

Planning - Outline planning consent was granted on 3rd October 2025. Further details regarding the planning consent can be found via the Somerset Council online Planning Portal using reference 01/25/00006. Interested parties must satisfy their own planning investigations.

Services - Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the location and capacity of any services.

Location - Ashcott is a picturesque village just 9 miles from Bridgwater. With a strong sense of community and around 1,200 residents, the village offers excellent amenities, including a primary school, village hall, post office, shops, and five pubs — alongside its own micro brewery. The Grade II listed Church of All Saints and charming historic cottages enhance its heritage appeal. Annual highlights such as the BeerFest and village pantomime, plus active local clubs, reflect a vibrant village spirit. Set amidst rolling countryside with scenic walking and cycling routes, Ashcott combines rural tranquillity with easy access to Bridgwater and Glastonbury — making it both peaceful and well-connected.

Method of Sale - Private Treaty -  Offers are invited for the whole site or the owners may consider selling in parts subject to agreement on infrastructure delivery.

GDV’s - Cooper & Tanner’s branch office in Street or Glastonbury would be well placed to be able to provide values when the dwellings are built.
