Freehold site with dramatic countryside views and consent for a two-storey home.
Outline planning valid until 25/01/2027 (ref 71863)
A sizeable 0.17-acre freehold plot in a sought-after Ilfracombe location, offered with outline planning consent for a detached two-storey house and two parking spaces. The site commands open countryside views and sits within walking distance of town, beaches and local amenities — a clear canvas for a high-spec new build or a single bespoke family home.
Outline planning permission (ref 71863) was granted in February 2021 and has been renewed, remaining valid until 25/01/2027. Mains services are understood to be available nearby, and the proposal drawings show a modern two-storey footprint that maximises the site’s elevated aspect.
Buyers should note this is a development plot rather than a completed dwelling. The permission is outline only — reserved matters and full approvals will be required before construction. The site is sloped with a substantial drop and is currently unsafe to access without appointment and appropriate precautions. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow.
For investors or a design-minded buyer this is a clear opportunity: a prominent plot with coastal access, granted outline consent and scope for a striking build. Factor in the cost and time for detailed planning, groundworks on the sloping site, and final utility connections when assessing overall project viability.
