Plot of land in Ludlow with planning permission for home next to river bank hits the market
A large plot of land next to a river bank in South Shropshire and with planning permission to build a home has been listed for sale.
The plot in Steventon, Ludlow presents a rare opportunity for Shropshire residents to create a one-off home in a desirable area.
Planning permission was granted in 2014 and a material start was made to ensure that planning was kept alive by the current owners. Planning is for a substantial detached house to be built that extends to a floor area of about 215 square metres.
The land, that is 1.74 acres in size and offers access to the banks of the River Teme, has hit the market with a guide price of £750,000 with Knight Frank Estate Agents.
The listing says: "Accessed via a driveway (to be constructed) through a paddock, this remarkable plot is set in a field on the edge of Ludlow and is enclosed by mature hedges and trees with a gated access to the banks of the River Teme which sits below on which there are fishing rights.
"Planning permission was granted in 2014 and a material start was made to ensure planning was kept live by the current owners. The proposed accommodation is for a substantial detached house under planning reference 13/01665/FUL which extends to a floor area of about 215 square meters and with a separate detached garage block with workshop attached."
Set in a "leafy suburb" on the edge of Ludlow and about about 1.25 miles from the South Shropshire market town centre, the land is also easily accessible to the surrounding countryside.
The plot is set back from the lane and is elevated above the River Teme.
The listing adds that "there would be scope, subject to a revised application being permitted for alterations to the existing scheme".
However, the agents notes state: "The site will be restricted to one residential dwelling unless written consent is given by the current owner.
"The access driveway will be across the land retained by the current owner. The plot will be responsible for a fair share of the laying of the access and its upkeep."
Viewings are available, but must be made strictly by appointment through Knight Frank.
