Land For Sale £700,000
The site - EX3 0LS
A rare opportunity to acquire a development site within the highly sought-after Topsham area with River Exe frontage. The site benefits from outline planning permission (Ref.20/1140/out) for three detached dwellings and has a fabulous southerly aspect out across the River Exe estuary and beyond towards Haldon Hills.
The planning permission is in outline form with only the access and layout having been considered to date, and all other matters such as appearance, landscaping, and scale, are reserved for future approval.
The seller is retaining ownership of the existing bungalow (Retreat Bungalow) and its single garage and is intending to refurbish the property for rental once the development site has sold. The wooden shed to the north of the bungalow is within the site area being sold, and the development site extends to approximately 0.24 hectares (0.58 acres).
Topsham
Within Exeter but distinctively Topsham would be a good description of this historic estuary port town with its eclectic mix of building styles, famous 17c Dutch style merchant houses, maritime heritage and waterfront setting on the River Exe. Some of the finest houses can be found along the Strand whilst Topsham High Street is home to many specialist shops and boutiques. There are numerous award winning restaurants and pubs in the locality.
There is a strong local community and plenty of amenities including local shops, a primary school, gp surgery, bowls club, swimming pool, recreation ground, rspb reserve, estuary walks, local ferry and train station to name only a few.
The centre of Exeter, a city consistently rated as one of the best places to live in the UK, is less than 6 km away and can be reached by the regular bus service or by train from the Topsham railway station (services also to Exmouth) with its main line connections at Exeter.
Method of sale
Offers are invited for this freehold site.
