Description
Set within 4.5 acres of picturesque coastal land, Woodside of Benholm offers an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke home in a truly stunning setting. Elevated to take full advantage of its panoramic views over the North Sea and surrounding countryside, this exceptional plot is ideally located between Montrose, Dundee, and Aberdeen, with the nearby coastal village of Johnshaven offering local amenities and a welcoming community.
Currently occupying the site is a partially derelict, uninhabitable dwelling, providing a blank canvas for redevelopment. The property benefits from services on site, including water and electricity, making future development more straightforward. Additionally, a static caravan is situated on the property and will be included as part of the sale, offering immediate accommodation or potential use during the construction phase.
Previous Planning Permission
The site previously secured full planning permission under reference APP/2015/2171, granted by Aberdeenshire Council for the change of use of land to domestic curtilage and erection of a replacement dwellinghouse. While now lapsed, the approval set a precedent for redevelopment, with past plans detailing a spacious home of approximately 258m² over two floors. The proposed design incorporated modern energy efficiency measures, a pitched slate roof, and high-quality timber windows and doors. Drainage was planned via a treatment plant and soakaway system. Planning documentation is available for review by interested buyers, and any future applications may need to align with updated energy efficiency and environmental standards.
The land consists mainly of well-maintained, open turf, offering a wealth of possibilities for landscaping, equestrian use, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the setting. A tree-lined driveway provides access to the site.
