Set on just over a quarter of an acre (0.27 acre), this level freehold plot in Longdown offers a rare self-build opportunity within easy reach of Exeter. The land benefits from previous planning history for a single-storey dwelling with detached garage, parking and gardens, and is large enough to deliver a detached home with outside space.
Important: the plot is being sold at auction without planning permission. Earlier permissions have lapsed and a recent outline application was withdrawn, so any buyer should expect to apply for and obtain new consents. Services are accessible nearby but prospective purchasers should verify connections and build costs before bidding.
The setting is rural and peaceful — countryside views, walking routes and a hamlet-feel locality — yet Exeter is only about five miles away with shopping, schools and transport links. Mobile signal is excellent and there is average broadband speed; flood risk is recorded as none. The plot includes off-street parking potential and an existing garden area.
This parcel will suit self-builders, developers or buyers seeking a countryside plot close to the city. It represents potential value for someone prepared to secure planning and manage a build project, but it is not suitable for anyone needing an immediate, move-in property.
