Description - Stags are delighted to offer this idyllic building plot located in a very private and semi-rural location within the hamlet of Huntshaw.

Full planning approval (ref. 1/0132/2023/FUL) was issued by Torridge District Council in April 2024, granting consent for the erection of a new detached individual home. The approved new dwelling is shown on the plans to take the form of an attractive three bedroom detached two storey contemporary property.

The overall design is to provide a home that responds to the rural nature of the locality, is bedded into the topography and is part of an overall landscape strategy that will positively enhance the site. The proposals have a strong sustainability agenda, specifying local and renewable materials where possible, and considering the embodied and operational carbon impact throughout.

The proposed accommodation is shown to include a generous lobby area with space for boot and coat storage, there is a utility / downstairs toilet immediately ahead and to the left the kitchen and dining room, the room has an open vaulted ceiling space, doors which open out onto the south facing courtyard garden, and high-level windows along the western edge. This will create a very open and light kitchen space. A living room will benefit from views over the field. The downstairs principle bedroom benefits from a built-in storage space / dressing area and en-suite, with views both to the north and south. At first floor level two bedrooms and a bathroom are provided.




Externally the proposed design provides a large private garden and parking and turning space for 2-3 cars.

Included in the sale is a mobile home, shed and van which are already on site. The mobile home can be lived in while the property is being built and the shed and van (SORN) can be used for tool storage.

The proposed plot extends to circa. 0.5 Acres
