A rare opportunity for self-builders to purchase one or two building plots and design their dream home.

A rare opportunity for self-builders to purchase one or more of three building plots and design their dream home. The plots are located in the quaint and peaceful village of Little Ribston, which is only 5 miles North of Wetherby, 3 miles South-East of Knaresborough and 8 miles from Harrogate. The plots are currently grassland, extend to approximately 0.2 acres, could accommodate a substantial family home of approximately 2,100 sqft (subject to the necessary planning consents) and benefit from delightful views across open countryside to the South. The vendor has prepared a number of reports, which will be made available to purchasers via their Planning Consultants, in order to support an outline planning application. There has been recent development to the North and West of the plots and these plots could provide self-build opportunities subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Offers are invited for the freehold interest, subject to the purchaser obtaining an outline planning consent.

Interested parties are welcome to view the plots from Wetherby Road at their convenience, but are requested not enter the plots without prior consent from Linley and Simpson Land and New Homes.
