Land for sale

Large Plot, Tadworthy Road, Northam EX39

The plot - EX39 1JP

An opportunity to acquire a large building plot in this sought-after coastal location off Tadworthy Road benefitting from far-reaching sea views across Northam Burrows & Baggy Point beyond to the north & Lundy Island to the north west.

The front plot benefits from a full detailed planning permission (Ref.1/0331/2025/ful) to demolish the existing double garage and to build a detached 4 bedroomed two-storey house with an attached single garage with associated parking and garden, together with a new replacement double garage for the existing house, Woodbine Cottage.

The proposed detached dwelling has a gross internal floor area of approximately 156.22sqm (1,682sqft) and there is an attached single garage and driveway with 2 further parking spaces. Please note that the Purchaser will be responsible for the construction of the new pavement across the frontage of both the plot and new garage area of Woodbine Cottage.

The Vendors have commenced construction of the plot to the rear of this plot (plans in planning & technical pack), however, that rear plot included the lake within the planning approval. We are now offering this plot, but without the lake which will remain with Woodbine Cottage, as part of this sale (as illustrated in red on the plan below). This would now include the wider road frontage and deeper plot which may allow for a larger dwelling (subject to the requisite planning consents) similar to the new dwelling to the east, or a re-design of the rear plot, without the lake area, to potentially construct two dwellings on the overall plot (subject to the requisite planning consents).
