This large, elevated plot in the heart of historic Chepstow offers a rare chance to construct a substantial five-bedroom family home with double garage. Full planning permission was granted on appeal (Monmouthshire CC ref DM/2022/00956, 18 Dec 2023) for a three-storey residence with extensive terraces and balconies that maximise panoramic views over the town, River Severn and Wye Valley. The plot is freehold and arranged to take advantage of a south-east facing, tiered garden.
The location is highly convenient: a short walk to Chepstow town centre, strong commuter links, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The proposed design by award-winning local architects provides generous internal space across approximately 2,325 sq ft (13 rooms) and includes linked double garage, storage and utility areas — a flexible layout for family living or multigenerational use.
Buyers should note clear, material considerations. The site lies in an area recorded as very deprived with a very high crime statistic; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves about local safety and community services. This is a plot sale — no existing home is included and construction, connection costs, and any necessary landscaping or additional surveys (structural, services, party wall etc.) will be the buyer’s responsibility. Council tax banding is currently unknown.
For families seeking a bespoke, contemporary home with exceptional elevated views and strong connectivity to local schools and amenities, this plot offers significant upside. For purchasers sensitive to local social and safety indicators, or those seeking an immediately occupied property, the requirement to build and invest in construction is a decisive factor to weigh.
