AGENTS NOTE The vendors intended to re-apply for planning permission for a slightly less imposing building than the one which is currently approved. They have since decided not pursue the revision and allow a future buyer to submit their own planning application but to be more in keeping the height of the neighbouring property. This is likely to be a 4 bed bungalow or split level property.
Please contact the Stags Barnstaple office for further details.
