Description

Potential Development Opportunity in 5 Acres with Barns, Paddocks & Stunning Views near Glastonbury.
Located less than 3 miles from the Glastonbury Festival site

Set in a glorious position with far-reaching views across the Somerset countryside, this 5-acre site offers a rare and exciting opportunity for development or lifestyle use, with no restrictive covenants attached to the sale of the land or existing barns.

The site includes a range of existing barns, two level paddocks, and benefits from mains water and drainage already on site. While a previous application for two new dwellings was refused, other properties and buildings on the site have more recently been granted consent, ncluding Class Q approval and full residential conversions, suggesting strong potential for the right buyer to explore future opportunities, subject to planning.

This is an ideal prospect for those seeking a self-build project, smallholding, or to develop existing structures in a highly desirable and scenic location close to Pilton and Glastonbury.

Notes - there is a public right of way that runs along the access road and up through both fields - plan is avaialble for reference.

Mains water and drainage are in the access road.
Using the postcode BA6 8NQ - The property can be seen set back from the A361
