Description

SITE AT OLD TIVERTON ROAD, BAMPTON - EX16 9DP

Kitchener Land and Planning are delighted to offer for sale this superb development opportunity located off Old Tiverton Road in Bampton, near Tiverton in Mid Devon. The site extends to c. 0.93ha / 2.3 acres and is comprised of three sections (plus a further area of land which may be available by separate negotiation) - each section is identified on the plan overleaf.

On the western side of the land, Area 1 comprises an existing non-standard construction bungalow where detailed planning approval has been attained for a large replacement dwelling in the form of a detached bungalow. This property will offer superb views over the village of Bampton. On the eastern side of the site, Area 3 comprises another existing non-standard construction bungalow where detailed planning approval has been attained for an attractive replacement detached two storey house.

In the centre of the site, Area 2 comprises a substantial area of land (c. 1.46 acres) where detailed planning approval was previously approved for the development of 5 new detached houses - this planning permission lapsed in Nov 2024. In the Agents opinion, purchasers may wish to consider this section of the site as offering scope (subject to requisite consents) for future development, or alternatively for substantial garden/amenity areas for the other two new dwellings.

Finally, to the far southwest of the site is a triangular shaped section of land where extant planning approval exists for the construction to two further houses. This land may potentially be available by separate negotiation.

Bampton is a historic Charter Town, lying in mid Devon but close to the Somerset border and on the edge of the Exmoor National Park. The village offers an excellent range of local amenities with local shops, chemist, pubs, primary school and doctors surgery. Tiverton is c. 7 miles to the south, with a wider range of facilities including supermarkets, a hospital, leisure centre, golf course and the renowned Blundell's School. Tiverton also has a railway station providing regular services to London Paddington in two hours. The whole area is well known for its outstanding natural beauty, with Exmoor nearby and the beaches of the beautiful North Devon coast around a 45 minute drive.

AREA 1

This part of the site is currently occupied by an existing non-standard (Woolaway) construction bungalow, which has historically been extended by the addition of a block built extension to the rear. Detailed planning approval was attained on 23rd May 2024 under application reference 24/00379/FULL for the demolition of the existing bungalow and its replacement with a new substantial 4 bedroomed detached single storey dwelling with a floor area of c. 195.98sqm (2108sqft) + garage.
