An exceptional development opportunity for five high specification holiday lodges, and planning consent for a detached dwellinghouse with triple garage, located in a tranquil and private position within close proximity of the market town of Moffat, and with attractive views of Croft Head.
Westwinds
Westwinds is a secluded site of 6.91 acres (2.79 hectares) situated only a few miles from the popular market town of Moffat, with granted planning for the development of an exclusive dwellinghouse and five high specification holiday lodges. The proposed development features idyllic views of the natural pond within the land and neighbouring countryside. The layout is designed to maximise the natural topography to make the best of the views and give each lodge a good degree of privacy however there is scope to re-position the lodges subject to approval. The development site is accessed directly from an adopted road.
The planning grants permission to demolish the existing property on site and build closer to the pond with proposed pond dock. Plans are available upon request for more details of the proposed layout and finish to the house.
The Lodges
Planning permission has been granted for the erection of five bespoke holiday lodges. Each lodge has a unique design and layout. Four of the lodges feature three generous sized bedrooms over two floors, with Black Lodge being the only one bedroom lodge on site, perfect for tourists travelling as a couple. Furthermore, all of the two-storey lodges include a downstairs bedroom with en-suite and suitable access.
Condition No.1 of the current planning permission does specify that the new holiday lodges shall be used solely for holiday accommodation and not be occupied as the sole or main residence of any occupant.
Interested parties are encouraged to contact the office for more details on proposed specifications.
Moffat
The development would be ideally suited to the developer looking to cater for the ‘staycation’ or long weekend holiday maker who is keen to secure an escape from the city and pursue the outdoors. Nature enthusiasts revel in the nearby Moffat Hills and the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall, offering breathtaking hiking and outdoor experiences and for sports enthusiasts there is a fantastic golf course nearby for golfers of all skill levels. For families and the leisure cyclist, there are more sedate cycling routes along some of Moffat’s old country roads, giving you many places to stop, rest and take in the stunning scenery of the Moffat Hills.
The town is also dotted with elegant Victorian architecture, including the iconic Moffat Toffee Shop, which tempts visitors with traditional sweet treats.
