Land for sale

Poughill, Bude, Cornwall EX23

The prospective purchaser has a unique opportunity to utilise granted planning permission to develop a significant plot with mains electricity and water connected. This will replace an existing house with a highly impressive contemporary detached property offering extensive accommodation. Major demolition works have already started on site including the removal of the existing property, tree felling in accordance with the planning permission and a track has been made for jcb access to all areas of the site.

The architect-designed concept incorporates an extensive open plan kitchen/breakfast room/lounge with full-height glazing to take advantage of surrounding views together with a neighbouring utility room with access to a large terrace, a plant room and a cloakroom. The ground floor also offers a separate dining room for formal dining and entertaining as well as media room with access onto an additional large paved terrace. A shower room completes the accommodation on this floor. Upstairs plans include a spacious, luxury principal bedroom suite with dressing room, en suite bathroom and access to a private terrace. There are a further three double bedrooms with en suite shower rooms on the first floor as well as laundry room and access to an additional sun terrace. The first floor accommodation further benefits from sea views.

The plot, approximately 2.9 acres, occupies a serene elevated hillside position, approached over a currently-unmade driveway. The approved design concept shows covered parking beneath a paved terrace while there is a further entertaining terrace with a hot tub and outdoor kitchen. Plans also include a circa 1km running/walking track and a water feature between the main house and the outdoor entertaining terrace. The rest of the plot offers the prospective purchaser the exclusive opportunity to create a personalised garden surrounded by beautiful neighbouring woodland, the whole enjoying far reaching countryside views.
