An exceptional opportunity in North Devon to deliver a striking single-storey home set within expansive grounds. Full planning permission (granted 22 Aug 2024, Torridge DC Ref: 1/0562/2024/FUL) is in place for a contemporary three-bedroom, L-shaped dwelling designed to maximise panoramic and partial sea views. The design includes extensive glazing, a green roof and minimalist cladding, creating a modern home that sits sensitively in pastoral surroundings.
The land is offered as two options: Lot 1 with approximately 9.2 acres and Lot 2 comprising around 15 acres (two adjoining parcels). Guide prices: Lot 1 £375,000; Lot 2 £425,000. The site features pasture, two natural ponds, a tree-lined entrance and a planned new stone track providing off-street parking and access.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. A private drainage system (septic tank or treatment plant) will need to be installed. Mains water and electricity are understood to be nearby but not confirmed on-site. The property is sold freehold and will be subject to existing wayleaves, rights of way and agreements.
This location offers a mix of seclusion and regional convenience — positioned between Barnstaple, Bideford and Torrington and close to village amenities and good schools. It suits buyers seeking a substantial plot to build a bespoke, high-quality home, or investors looking to take advantage of a permitted residential development in an attractive rural setting.
