Exceptional building plot with planning permission for a contemporary detached home in a stunning rural setting within Dartmoor National Park.

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire an exceptional residential building plot extending to approximately 0.39 acres (0.16 hectares), occupying an elevated position on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Dunsford in the picturesque Teign Valley.

Benefitting from full planning permission for the construction of a striking contemporary four-bedroom detached dwelling, this superb site enjoys outstanding panoramic views across the surrounding Devon countryside and offers purchasers the opportunity to create a bespoke family home in one of the county’s most desirable rural locations.

The approved design provides generous and thoughtfully arranged accommodation, incorporating expansive glazing to maximise the spectacular outlook, together with modern open-plan living spaces, four bedrooms, landscaped gardens and ample parking. The site combines the tranquillity of a rural setting with excellent accessibility, being within easy reach of Exeter, the A30 and the extensive amenities of the city, whilst the breathtaking landscapes of Dartmoor National Park lie just moments away.

Development plots of this calibre and location rarely become available, making this an ideal proposition for self-builders, owner-occupiers, developers and investors alike. The completed property is expected to appeal strongly to purchasers seeking a high-quality contemporary home within an attractive village environment.

Whether your ambition is to construct a dream home, undertake a rewarding development project or secure a valuable land investment, this outstanding plot presents an increasingly scarce opportunity to acquire a consented site in a prestigious Devon location.
