A rare coastal plot with outline planning permission sits elevated at Old Quarry, Upton, offering broad sunset and sea views across open countryside. The consent (PA25/00936) allows demolition of the existing bungalow and redevelopment with a bespoke five-bedroom, reverse-level home; all matters are reserved, so you can shape the design while following the approved principle of development.
The site is highly accessible for outdoor life — direct access onto the South West Coast Path and a short distance to Widemouth Bay and Bude — making it ideal for someone seeking a full-time coastal residence, a holiday retreat, or a self-build investment. Mains services (electric, water, gas, drainage) are reported available and the freehold tenure simplifies purchase arrangements.
Buyers should note planning is outline only and subject to standard conditions. Contamination assessments and ecological protection measures are required and will add time and cost before building starts. The existing dwelling must be demolished under the permission and detailed design, landscaping and parking will be subject to further reserved matters approval.
Practical local facts: broadband speeds are fast, mobile signal is average, and the area suits a mix of retirees and rural employment. Nearby schools include a ‘Good’ rated secondary and a primary rated as ‘Requires improvement’. Overall, this large, private plot gives a rare opportunity to deliver a purpose-designed coastal home while recognising the additional survey, design and planning work still required.
