Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a development plot extending to approximately 2.8 acres, with full planning permission granted for the conversion of a barn into a unique five-bedroom detached home, set against stunning Somerset countryside views.
Situated in a desirable semi-rural position, the plot enjoys far-reaching views over adjoining farmland and the wider Somerset landscape, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting for a truly individual home.
FULL PLANNING CONSENT (25/01428/FUL) has been granted for the creation of a substantial five-bedroom detached residence, designed to combine the character of a traditional barn with striking contemporary open-plan living. The proposed accommodation centres around an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, ideal for modern lifestyles and entertaining, with large openings designed to maximise natural light and frame the surrounding countryside.
A particular feature of the design is the inclusion of an indoor swimming pool complex, creating a luxurious leisure space for year-round use. In addition, the scheme includes a detached triple bay garage/store.
Externally, the plans incorporate a terrace area positioned to take full advantage of the outlook, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation within the generous grounds. Extending to approximately 2.8 acres, the plot offers excellent scope for landscaping and outdoor living, making this a rare opportunity for self-builders or developers to create a bespoke home in an attractive rural setting.
Discussions with the local planning officer indicate there is potential flexibility for amendments, subject to the necessary consents. This offers purchasers an excellent opportunity to adapt or redesign the scheme to suit their own preferences with the existing permission providing a strong and valuable fallback.
Services: The site is not connected to mains services but are near by and quotes for water and electricity have been obtained - these are available upon request. Private drainage is to be installed via a water treatment plant located within the plot and this will be the responsibility of the purchaser/developer. Fibre Broadband is connected to the neighbouring property and this runs within the boundary of the plot.
Conditions: Please note the public footpath that runs along the eastern boundary and continues up the driveway (immediate to the right hand side of the proposed barn) - please see plan provided.
The land is sold as seen and is subject to and with the benefit of all existing rights of way, whether public or private - these include any wayleaves, easements, covenants, restrictions and obligations. Prospective purchasers are advised to refer to the official plans for full details.
Please also note that neighbouring properties will benefit from an initial right of way and access over the private driveway.
Agents Note: Please note that the CGI images shown are representations only and are for illustrative/marketing purposes. They provide an idea for a potential finished design should a prospective purchaser wish to amend designs to that effect. All final specifications, materials and finishes may vary depending on final planning outcomes. Prospective purchasers should not rely on these images as an exact representation of the finished property.
