Features and description
An excellent opportunity to purchase a plot of land, extending to 0.21 acres (0.09ha) to design and build a bespoke home within a generous and private setting in the heart of Compton Martin.
Description.
This attractive building plot forms part of the grounds of Springfield House, set in the heart of Compton Martin, a highly sought-after village within the Chew Valley. The site benefits from outline planning permission for a single residential dwelling with two parking spaces, offering an excellent opportunity to design and build a bespoke home within a generous and private setting.
The plot comprises level garden ground bordered by established hedging and mature trees, creating a peaceful and sheltered environment. Its position within the village ensures convenient access to local amenities while retaining a strong rural feel. With careful design, the site has the potential to deliver an exceptional property that takes full advantage of its south-facing aspect and attractive surroundings.
Compton Martin is a thriving village situated on the northern edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The community benefits from a well-regarded pub, village hall, church and numerous outdoor pursuits, including walking routes around the Mendips and Chew Valley Lake. The village falls within the catchment area for respected primary and secondary schools and offers straightforward routes to Bristol, Bath and Wells, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike.
Commuting links are strong, with Bristol Airport a short distance away and major road networks connecting easily to the wider region. Its blend of rural charm, accessibility and village amenities makes this an appealing setting for those seeking to create a high-quality home in one of the Chew Valley’s most desirable locations.
