The Site
The site offers a sizeable plot extending to approximately to 0.92 acres (0.37 ha), currently comprising a derelict dwelling, a covered swimming pool, driveway and extensive gardens.. The layout and size of the plot offers scope to parcel the site for two or three detached dwellings all benefitting from far reaching views across the valley and surrounding countryside. The site also benefits from a large road frontage which will enable a second entrance off the road to be created as per the proposed plan, all subject to the necessary planning consents.

Pre-planning Advice
The site benefits from recent, positive pre-planning application advice indicating the likely agreement to the demolishment of the current dwelling and erecting two new detached dwellings and verbal indication was given that three detached properties would be acceptable. The proposed dwellings would be four/five bedroom spacious detached properties set in large plots. Although planning permission has not yet been obtained, the pre-application advice documents and draft plans are available on request. Development site opportunities rarely become available within the vicinity, especially with such rural and pleasant outlooks.

Existing Dwelling
The site currently comprises a derelict stone-built five bedroom dwelling with a detached pool house, which is all in need of full renovation and modernisation should a buyer wish to retain the house. The draft plan proposed for the existing dwelling and pool house to be demolished.

Restrictive Covenant
The site will be subject to a restrictive covenant limiting the site to the development of detached dwellings only, with a maximum of three.
