Description
Nicely set, overlooking the River Taw valley, the surrounding farmland and over the river itself with a panoramic view to Braunton Burrows and the sand dunes behind Saunton Beach to Saunton Downs on the hill behind Saunton Sands Hotel and back, running eastwards through Ashford, Barnstaple and beyond.
This individual building plot is privately set between mature hedge banks overlooking its own land and with planning consent granted, in outline only, for what was initially applied for as a two-bedroom bungalow under application number 81550 by North Devon Council on the 12th May 2026.
The opportunity is potentially there for negotiation with the Local Planning Authority to make the approved dwelling, into a larger one on what was originally a market garden site with a sloping pasture field forming most of the land beyond, with a small stream on its western boundary and in all over 7 acres.
