Description

Nestled within the picturesque hamlet of Norton Green is this good sized, building plot with adjacent services and planning permission to build a four bedroom detached house.

Description - Plot 3, Woodpecker Drive represents an outstanding opportunity for individuals seeking to construct a bespoke residence, thoughtfully designed to accommodate contemporary family living and featuring an elegant combination of materials across its façades. The plot forms part of a select development approved under planning reference 20/00779/FUL (PP-08650316), granting permission for the creation of seven distinctive detached properties. Current planning consent allows for a dwelling of approximately 168 square metres, positioned on the largest plot within the development.

The surrounding area boasts several attractive beaches, extensive protected downland and coastal walks, as well as the SSSI-designated Afton Nature Reserve and the Yar Estuary. Additionally, the harbour town of Yarmouth, with its mainland ferry connections and renowned sailing facilities, is located within a five-minute drive, making this a highly desirable and conveniently situated location.
