Land at Whitstone Hill, Pilton, Shepton Mallet, Somerset

Rare opportunity to obtain a development site in this famous Somerset village.

**A RARE EDGE-OF-VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT SITE**

An opportunity to acquire 1.65 acres (0.67 hectares) site on the northern edge of Pilton, one of the best-served villages in this part of Somerset. The land is offered freehold with vacant possession and, while it does not have the benefit of planning permission, it is sold with a positive pre-application response from Somerset Council.

**DESCRIPTION**

The site comprises a single, regularly shaped field, currently let for grazing. It falls on an even, gentle gradient from around 90 m above ordnance datum at its north-eastern corner beside the A361 to approximately 80.5 m at the southern boundary. It is bounded by the A361 Whitstone Hill to the north, The Old Police House to the west, the rear gardens of Culverwell Cottages and Top Street to the south, and public footpath SM 16/15 and Culverwell Lodge to the east. Existing hedgerows enclose the site on three sides.

**SITUATION**

Pilton lies on the A361 between Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury, in attractive countryside south of the Mendip Hills. The village is unusually well provided for, with a Co-op and post office, two public houses, a coffee shop, restaurants, a social club, a pre-school and kindergarten, the parish church and the Methodist church — all within walking distance of the site via Top Street and the adjoining public footpath. Pilton is perhaps best known as the home of the Glastonbury Festival.

Shepton Mallet is about 3 miles to the north-east, Glastonbury about 6 miles to the west and Bath about 20 miles to the north. Mainline stations at Castle Cary (about 5 miles) and Bruton (about 7 miles) give access to London Paddington, and four bus routes serve the village.

*SERVICES**

Interested parties should make their own enquiries of the relevant statutory undertakers as to the availability, capacity and location of services.

**METHOD OF SALE**

The freehold is offered for sale by private treaty with vacant possession on completion. Offers are invited on an unconditional basis, subject to contract. Conditional and subject-to-planning offers will be considered on their merits and should be set out in full. The purchaser will be responsible for erecting the boundary fence and for all planning costs.
