Rare opportunity to own a large building plot which offers a perfect combination of privacy, and outstanding rural views.

Nestled in open countryside, this expansive plot spans 0.40 of an acre and comes with planning permission for a spacious detached house.

Imagine waking up each morning to superb south-facing views that stretch across unspoiled landscapes. This plot promises a lifetime of natural beauty, as the surrounding land is protected from development. Enjoy the tranquility of rural living with the reassurance that your views will remain unspoiled for generations.

While the plot offers privacy with no immediate neighbours, you're not entirely isolated. Your nearest neighbours are close enough to offer assistance, yet far enough to ensure your peace and privacy.

Directly opposite your future home lies Old Gore Wood, a testament to the community spirit of the area. Once earmarked for a travelling community site, it was purchased by a neighbour and transformed into a thriving woodland. With the help of locals, 650 trees and shrubs were planted, restoring it to its natural glory. Old Gore Wood is now a cherished asset, offering a serene spot and a habitat for local wildlife.

In summary, this building plot offers the perfect blend of solitude and community engagement. If you're seeking a place where you can build your dream home amidst nature, while being part of a supportive and friendly neighborhood, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Please call Edison Ford for further information. Viewings by appointment only.
