Land

An exciting opportunity to purchase either one individual building plot for a self-build development or indeed all four exceptional plots with full planning permission granted (with conditions) for the erection of 4 x three/four bedroom/four-bathroom two storey contemporary homes. Set in a stunning hillside position off Long Lane in Backwell, the entire site measures approximately 8.5 acres (3.4 hectares) with each individual plot allotted just over a two-acre plot of land. The setting is quite exceptional with incredible far-reaching views that stretch out from Backwell Hill over the North Somerset Countryside towards the Bristol Channel, a position that truly needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Access to the site is gained via a gated farm style track with a practical area of hardstanding still in existence. The contemporary design of the homes features reversed living space on the first floor in order to take full advantage of the exceptional views.
