Description - A wonderful opportunity to purchase approximately 15 acres with planning approved for the demolition of an agricultural building and erection of a unique and contemporary three-bedroom single story dwelling which will boast stunning countryside views in all directions with Exmoor and Saunton Sands in the distance.

The proposed gross internal floor space of the new dwelling which is in a L formation is around 150m2, this would allow for a good-sized 3-bedroom family house on the site, complete with a separate home office to represent current working patterns and an open plan living, kitchen, and dining room to match modern lifestyle trends. The proposal includes the construction of a new 250-metre-long stone track across agricultural fields with access to the house and provided with ample parkin from the driveway, leading to the front door.

The design utilises two rectangular forms linked by a single storey glass element with a green roof, creating a private courtyard garden. On the exterior, the proposed dwelling will be finished in a dark charred timber cladding which seeks a monochrome aesthetic to accentuate the contrast between the house and the landscape. The dark silhouette brings its natural surroundings into sharp contrast whilst remaining subtle if viewed from a distance. Large windows and sliding doors connect the house's rooms with their expansive views, providing natural light to the property. The remaining materials compliment the dark cladding of the dwelling and continue taking precedent from the agricultural architecture in the area. With a zinc roof and slimline aluminium windows- maintaining the simple massing of the dwelling.

The location of the new dwelling is secluded, private and is surrounded by its own land which is a haven for wildlife and includes two natural ponds.
