Set within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this very large plot of approximately 0.8 acre combines garden, orchard and mature woodland with planning consent for a single-storey three-bedroom detached home (Planning refs: DS082933, P202354 & DS073433). The initial phase of works has been started so the permission is held in perpetuity, and mains water and electricity serve the site. An insulated, re-roofed garage with double glazing now functions as a comfortable bothy and there is a nearby composting toilet.
The site offers strong rural appeal: private, sheltered and surrounded by nature reserves and riverside attractions. Good road links put Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and the A40 within easy reach for shops, schools and services, while local paths, pubs and outdoor-activity providers make it ideal for walkers, cyclists and families who want countryside living.
The plot is sold freehold. The existing brick building and grounds are overgrown and will require clearance and maintenance; the house design has planning approval but finishing and connections beyond mains supplies are the buyer’s responsibility. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average—important considerations for homeworking or heavy data users.
This is a genuine opportunity for someone seeking a secluded rural build plot with immediate planning certainty, woodland and orchard amenity. Expect sensible upfront costs to clear, complete and modernise the site and buildings before occupation.
