Description: Guide Price £400,000 - £450,000. An extraordinary opportunity to purchase this plot of land (approximately 1.4 acres), which has planning permission granted for a substantial house with garaging, away from main roads, with stunning rural views towards Glastonbury Tor also taking in Wells Cathedral. Located on the edge of village of East Horrington.
Full planning permission has been granted for a four bedroom, three bathroom, two storey, contemporary style house (this could be changed subject to planning). The rear of the property would have a southerly aspect with countryside views over fields and beyond. The land is bound by mature trees and hedgerow. The garden is currently mostly laid to lawn with some fabulous native trees and shrubs. At the top of the plot is an orchard and productive vegetable garden with raised beds.
The planning for the current internal layout has been well thought out with design, aesthetics, light, modern living and a connection to the garden in mind. With a spacious open plan kitchen/living room, a separate sitting room, study, utility room and downstairs bedroom with en-suite shower room on the ground floor. On the first floor there is planning for a large principal suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing room. There are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and laundry room. The layout is perfect for a family or multi-generational living.
The planning permission includes a drive and garage with room above which could be used as an office, entertainment room or ancillary accommodation.
There is clearly potential to change the design of the current building, subject to the usual planning permissions, should the new owner desire. The site lends itself to a modern design or a more traditional building - the scope is endless.
