Description
Location
The site is located on the northern edge of Manuden. The thriving village of Manuden benefits from a range of local services and facilities, including a primary school, pub, community centre, sports pitches and a vehicle repair garage.
Due to the site's position on the edge of the village, it benefits from beautiful rural countryside surroundings with far reaching views. Stansted Mountfitchet and Bishop's Stortford are located approximately 2.5 miles and 3.1 miles from the site respectively, where there are extensive further services, including secondary schools and mainline train links to London, Stansted Airport and Cambridge. There are bus links within the village offering connections to Bishop's Stortford and Saffron Walden.
The site is located in the Uttlesford Local Authority.
The Site
This sale offers an exciting opportunity to build a new home in the popular and well-located village of Manuden. The site extends to approximately 0.13 hectares (0.32 acres) and currently comprises a substantial building which was formerly used as a coffee roastery.
The building is to be demolished and replaced as part of the approved development. The rest of the site comprises maintained grass lawn, with a few trees and a mature hedgerow around the majority of the site.
The site shares an access off Manuden Road with the adjacent property, White House Corner. Footpath 'Manuden 15' runs from Manuden Road along the northern boundary of the site.
