Building Plot, Castlebrook, Compton Dundon

Building Plot by The Old Tavern,

Castlebrook, Compton Dundon, Somerton, Somerset, TA11 6PP

Street and Somerton about 3 miles, Glastonbury 5 miles, Wells 11 miles, Yeovil 12 miles, M5 (J23) 24 miles, A303 (Podimore) 7 miles, Bath 35 miles, Bristol 31 miles, Bristol Airport 28 miles

Description: 

Situated on the edge of Compton Dundon, this self-build plot for a four-bedroom, single storey property is set within around 1 acre of land, with further land potentially available by separate negotiation.

Currently sited on the plot is a large barn (which will be replaced by the new build), as well as a stone built single storey long barn (which will remain).

The design of the house is well thought out and will provide in excess of 3,000 Sq. Ft. of contemporary, light filled open plan living, along with four double bedrooms.

The dwelling will have the aesthetics of a barn conversion with a delightful position which allows for both morning and afternoon light to flood the main living areas, complemented with a connection to the garden through two east and west facing sliding glazed doors.

Within the design are two wings to the property, both with two double bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, as well as a family bathroom and separate WC.

A key part of the design criteria was to have sustainability at the forefront, which includes an air source heat pump for both the heating and hot water supply that would work in conjunction with Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) to reduce the heating demand further.

The MVHR would also filter the air that circulates throughout the property.

The design also includes an array of photovoltaic panels which would supplement the electricity supply.

Currently sited on the plot are two barns. The larger of the two has planning permission for demolition in order facilitate the build, whilst the single storey longer stone barn would remain.

Outside

The plot is mostly level and contains a mixture of grass areas, areas of hard standing, an orchard, a variety of specimen trees and hedgerow.

Overall, there is a fantastic opportunity to create a fabulous garden with a courtyard terrace from the main living areas opening out onto a level garden.

The orchard, lying to the north-west of the proposed house, contains a variety of apple trees.

There is ample parking in the proposed courtyard area, adjacent to the garage, which would be linked to the house via the utility room.

P.S. A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
