Large 3-acre building plot with full planning for a contemporary five‑bed home and strong off‑grid potential.
Approximately 3 acres of freehold land
A rare, substantial building plot of approximately 3 acres in an elevated, private rural position with wide countryside views. Full planning permission was granted on 21 October 2021 (Torridge ref 1/1007/2021/FUL) for a contemporary five-bedroom (three ensuite) detached house of about 330 sqm, with large open-plan living areas, integral garage and a rear balcony that takes advantage of the outlook.
This freehold site will particularly suit buyers seeking an off-grid lifestyle or an equestrian/small‑holding opportunity: a private water supply is nearby, and the parcel has a history of equine use. Mains electricity is not currently connected to the site and private drainage will need to be installed, so the plot is best for buyers prepared to manage services and some infrastructure costs.
The location is quiet and remote, positioned on the outskirts of West Putford with limited local amenities nearby; Bradworthy (c.4 miles) and Holsworthy (c.7.6 miles) provide day-to-day shops and services. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average—this is a countryside retreat rather than a commuter-ready plot. Planning documentation can be reviewed using the Torridge planning reference provided.
This plot offers significant scope: build the approved contemporary home as planned, adapt the consent (subject to permissions), or create an equestrian/smallholding base. The price reflects the combination of size, planning consent and rural setting but also the additional costs associated with off-grid setup and service connections.
