Bigbury-on-Sea, Kingsbridge, Devon

Overview

Offers invited £995,000 (with upwards adjustment for services works undertaken by the vendor).

Full planning permission (Ref. 3743/18/FUL) for the construction of a contemporary detached reverse level two-storey 4-bedroom house set in an elevated position above the beach overlooking Burgh Island, was granted on 22 November 2019. The proposed net internal floor area is approximately 190m² (2,050 sqft). The plot has a gentle fall to the south and extends to approximately 0.08 hectares (0.2 acres). The boundaries are approximately shown highlighted in pink on the site plan below (1810 P.05E), see Unit 3.

The plot is one part of an approved scheme for 4 units; the remainder comprises 3 small bungalows currently under construction, see photo below dated 09.05.24.

The 4 units will share a common access from Ringmore Drive (see plan 1810 P.05E below). Thereafter, bear left into a parking court for the bungalows or straight on for the plot's private drive. Rights will be granted from the access to the private drive for the plot. The plot will also benefit from a pedestrian access onto Marine Drive.

To enable the plot to be developed separately and in accordance with the planning permission, the vendor will contract to pay the S.106 contribution, discharge the relevant pre-commencement conditions, and complete the necessary construction elements under the S.106 to enable occupation of the dwelling on the plot.

As part of the works currently underway, the vendor will (as it makes sense to service the three bungalows and provide connection points to the single plot at the same time) bring foul, electric, water, and telecoms connection points to the plot boundary. If the plot connection points have not been constructed at the time of agreeing a sale, the plot purchaser can choose to undertake these works themselves. If, however, the vendor has completed or partially completed these works or the purchaser requires the vendor to undertake or complete these works, the cost of these works will be added to the purchase price.
