Description
THE PLOT - EX17 6NZ
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an individual building plot for a self-builder seeking to design and build their own home. The plot is situated to the upper rear corner of this development site of just 20 dwellings on the north western edge of the village, and backs on to a field to the rear. To the front of the plot (south) is an area of landscaping as part of the wider development which has now been substantially completed by a renowned local developer, Westhaven Homes, who have developed several exclusive high quality smaller development sites around the Mid Devon area.
The self-build plot benefits from planning approval for the construction of a new custom build house with the location, design and appearance of the new dwelling and any outbuildings, and the parking arrangements and landscaping of the plot to be submitted to the Council by the Purchaser for approval, to discharge planning condition No.4 of the Reserved Matters Planning Permission. The plot extends to approx. 777sqm (0.19 acres) with a proposed build zone footprint area of approx. 259sqm, with a two-storey house envisaged as the proposed design, similar to that now constructed on Plots 6, 10 and 11, with a GIA of approximately 180sqm (1,938sqft).
The plot will be offered with access to foul and surface water drainage and all other necessary utility connections (namely water, electricity and telecommunications) these services will be accessible for connection from the road access area in front of the plot.
METHOD OF SALE
Offers are invited in the region of £150,000 for the freehold plot.
