Description

An exceptional opportunity presents itself with this generous potential building plot, measuring approximately 0.16 hectares (0.39 acres), located in a highly sought after village setting. The site benefits from permission in principle for the erection of up to two dwellings, offering discerning buyers or developers the scope to create two executive detached homes with desirable southerly-facing gardens (subject to further planning consents and detailed design).

The plot is ideally positioned for those seeking a blend of rural charm and modern convenience, with excellent pubs, local amenities and scenic walks all within easy reach. The surrounding area boasts stunning open countryside, providing a tranquil backdrop and an appealing lifestyle for future residents. Connectivity is a key advantage, with the Epperstone By-Pass just a stone's throw away, ensuring swift access to neighbouring towns and transport links.

Buyers have the flexibility to acquire either the full land or a part plot (see individual listings), making this an adaptable proposition for a range of requirements. Planning application documents and further information are available via Newark and Sherwood District Council (Ref: 25/01829/PIP), enabling interested parties to review the potential in detail.

This is a rare chance to secure a prime site in a vibrant and picturesque village, ideal for those wishing to build bespoke homes in a thriving community.
