An exceptional cleared building plot with planning consent for a circa 300 sq m grand‑design family house, set on a very large, elevated site with far‑reaching southerly and south‑westerly views to the coast. The site benefits from full planning consent granted by North Devon Council (applications 78558 and partially discharged conditions under 79553), freehold tenure and the option to acquire an additional 2‑acre paddock and a store shed.
The proposed house layout shows generous open‑plan living, a triple/aspect lounge and a ground‑floor utility/plant area, with four double bedrooms and three en‑suite bathrooms on the first floor. The plot has been cleared of former farm buildings, provides private off‑road parking and a standalone garage, and lies within easy driving distance of West Down village, Woolacombe’s beaches and wider facilities at Braunton and Barnstaple.
Practical points to note: the site is in an affluent rural area with excellent mobile signal but very slow broadband speeds. Some planning conditions remain to be discharged (see council records). The location is rural, so expect country‑lane access and an element of remoteness from larger services; maps and online mapping layers may still show the former farm buildings despite physical removal.
This opportunity suits a buyer seeking to deliver a high‑spec, contemporary family home or an investor/developer prepared to complete planning conditions and build to take advantage of the exceptional coastal vistas and large plot. Buyers should review the approved planning documentation and service connections, and allow for normal rural‑site build costs and timelines.
