Description

An unusual opportunity to acquire approximately 1.23 acres in the sought-after North Yorkshire village of Melsonby, complete with an existing three-bedroom detached bungalow and approved planning permission for two additional homes.

The approved plans provide for a substantial five/six-bedroom detached family home and a separate two-bedroom bungalow, creating exciting possibilities for developers, multigenerational families or buyers looking to create a small collection of homes within one generous site.

The existing bungalow...

Already occupying the plot is a substantial 1,567 sq ft detached bungalow with three double bedrooms and well-proportioned living accommodation.

The living room features a gas fire and connects to a conservatory overlooking the gardens. There is also a separate dining room, while the kitchen has solid oak cabinetry, space for dining and an adjoining utility room.

All three bedrooms are doubles, with fitted wardrobes to the main bedroom, alongside a generous family bathroom.

A large loft provides further useful space, with one section already floored, plastered and decorated, offering additional potential subject to any necessary permissions.

Step outside...

The grounds are what really set this property apart. Extending to approximately 1.23 acres, they include established lawns, an ornamental pond and a small stream running along the edge of the plot. A private driveway provides extensive parking alongside the existing garage.

The amount of land, combined with the planning permission already in place, gives the next owner considerable flexibility in how the property could evolve.

Out and about...

Melsonby is a well-connected North Yorkshire village, conveniently positioned for Richmond, Scotch Corner, the A66 and A1(M). Darlington and its mainline railway station are also within easy reach, making the location practical for travel further afield.

Whether the intention is to develop the approved scheme, create a multigenerational family setting, make changes to the existing bungalow or simply enjoy the existing bungalow and substantial grounds, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable site with much of the planning groundwork already complete.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive £11.00 of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks

Love Property

Love Property was created with a clear intention, to offer a more considered, professional approach to selling and managing homes.

After experiencing first hand how poor advice and lack of care can impact both sellers and landlords, our founder, Laura Howey, built an agency centered on doing things properly: clear guidance, strong marketing, and a level of service that never feels rushed or transactional.

We work with a deliberately smaller number of clients across North Yorkshire, County Durham, Cumbria and Northumberland. This allows us to give each property the attention it deserves, from thoughtful pricing and presentation to carefully managed negotiations and communication throughout.

Our team combines local knowledge with a wider reaching buyer audience, meaning we are not restricted by postcode, but driven by results.

For sellers, that means a considered strategy and confident representation.

For landlords, it means structured, compliant management with a focus on protecting both asset and income.

We understand that no two properties or clients are the same. Our role is to guide you through the process with clarity and calm expertise, ensuring decisions are made for the right reasons, not out of pressure or noise.

If you are looking for a more measured, professional approach to selling or letting, we would be pleased to help.
