A superb building plot of 2.70 acres with consent for the construction of a single dwelling, enjoying far reaching views and set down a rural lane on the edge of this highly desirable village.

Location
The plot is set on the southern side of Debdale Lane, just outside of the charming village of Smeeton Westerby. The lane runs down to a farm and eventually the canal. The village offers a church and a popular public house, The King’s Head. Kibworth is nearby and offers a good range of facilities and schooling. Bustling Market Harborough, 6 miles away, is a thriving town with extensive leisure and shopping facilities, as well as main line rail services to London. The city of Leicester is 11 miles to the north.

The Plot
This attractive development opportunity is set in a beautiful rural position. The site is relatively level and has vehicle access from Debdale Lane. Currently on site is a former cattle barn and yard, which has permission for conversion to a single dwelling. The remainder of the land offered is pasture, in all about 2.70 acres. Further land is available by negotiation. Mains water is connected to the site. Electricity runs down the road. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the availability and suitability of the services.
A Public Footpath crosses the grassland, as shown on the plan. There are lovely views to the south and west over the gently rolling countryside.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
