Development Opportunity

A planning application is currently under consideration for the construction of an attractive four-bedroom detached family home within the grounds of Westercroft. The proposed dwelling has been thoughtfully designed in a style complementary to the modern Newett Homes properties situated in front of the existing residence, ensuring it blends sympathetically with the surrounding development. Access to this property would be through the Newett homes development.

This represents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking future development potential, whether for a self-build project, a family home, or investment purposes (subject to the outcome of the planning application).

Copies of the proposed plans, drawings and supporting documentation are available on request through the selling agent.
