The village of Georgeham has an excellent community and boasts an array of amenities including a church, highly regarded primary school, general store, village hall and two popular public houses.

The spectacular North Devon coastline, which was selected in April 2022 as a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ (WSR) – the first in the UK and only cold-water WSR in the world, is within easy reach with the well-known sandy surfing beaches at Putsborough (2 miles) and Croyde (2.5 miles) nearby.

The Plots - This is an extremely rare chance to purchase a one acre building site on the edge of the popular coastal village of Georgeham, backing onto open fields. The site has planning permission for the erection of two four bedroom detached houses. The planning permission number is 72958 on the North Devon District Council planning portal. Application number 76641 discharges condition 4 of application 72958. Further details can be obtained on the planning portal, or can be emailed upon request from the sole selling agents.

The building land lies to the east and southern boundaries of the property known as "Mandalay" (which is available to purchase separately, or as a whole together with the plot). The parcel of land benefits from a separate vehicular access, which allows for the two proposed dwellings to have a private independent access.

Opportunities such as this very seldom become available to the open market, and the agents have no hesitation in strongly recommending further investigation.

Agent’s Note:

1) The property is available in three lots:

Lot 1 - The house and gardens - Guide £1,250,000
Lot 2 - The building land - Excess £850,000
Lot 3 - The whole - Excess £2,000,000

2) The current septic tank drainage system for Mandalay is situated on the grounds of the building plots. If the house and building plots are to be sold separately, the new owners of Mandalay will be required to move the septic tank drainage system to within their own grounds. This will need to be carried out within a specified period of time, to be agreed by solicitors. The current owners have had a quote from a local contractor that would indicate the cost of this to be in the region of £20,000-£25,000.

3) The vendors will only sell the building land to a separate buyer if the purchaser of the main house does not wish to purchase as a whole. The exchange of contracts on both will need to happen simultaneously, even in the event of them being sold to separate purchasers.
