A rare development opportunity on the fringes of Colwell and Freshwater village, this generous freehold plot has full Isle of Wight Council planning consent for a detached four-bedroom house with a separate double garage (LPA Ref: 23/00756/FUL, granted 21 July 2023). The site is already enclosed with close-board fencing and benefits from a gated pedestrian access to Heath Lane and vehicular access from Colwell Lane via a private driveway.
The plot sits about a five-minute stroll from Colwell Bay seafront, making it appealing to family buyers who want coastal access and space for gardens, or to investors seeking a straightforward development with planning in place. Excellent mobile signal and off-street parking are practical pluses; the large plot size allows a wide range of layouts and landscaping choices.
Notable practical points are set out plainly: building work must commence within three years of the planning approval date, so the purchaser will need to schedule construction and obtain any required building-regulation consents. The wider area shows signs of deprivation, broadband speeds are average and crime levels are around local average — factors prospective buyers should factor into financing and resale plans. There is also a right of way granting access to the neighbouring bungalow along the driveway, which affects vehicular use of the access.
Overall this is a substantial, seafront-proximate development plot with planning in situ and clear potential for a modern family home — suited to a buyer ready to move quickly to take advantage of the permission or an investor prepared to manage a new-build project.
