Design your own home with expansive countryside views and town access.
Outline planning permission valid until 25/01/2027 (ref 71863)
Set on approximately 0.17 acres, this freehold building plot offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke two-storey home with wide, uninterrupted countryside views. Outline planning permission (North Devon Council ref 71863) was granted and renewed, and remains valid until 25/01/2027, allowing for a detached dwelling with two parking spaces. The site sits on a sought-after residential road within walking distance of Ilfracombe town centre, harbour and beach, with Exmoor and popular surf beaches a short drive away.
All mains services are understood to be available nearby, and excellent mobile signal makes remote working feasible; broadband speeds are average. The plot’s size and elevated position make it a strong candidate for a “grand design” house that takes full advantage of the rural outlook and outdoor living potential.
Buyers should note important constraints: the permission is outline rather than full, so a reserved-matters application will be required to progress to a detailed build. The site is currently unsafe with a substantial drop; access is restricted and viewings must be by appointment. Interested parties should verify service connections, statutory consents and ground conditions, and budget for site works and build costs associated with a new dwelling.
This plot will suit purchasers seeking a custom new-build in a coastal-exmoor location — families or individuals wanting long-term value from a thoughtfully designed home, and small-scale developers targeting a single bespoke dwelling. The combination of location, views and an existing planning permission provides a clear starting point for design and procurement, while the site’s constraints mean clear professional input will be required before construction.
