SITUATION The building plots are located in the far garden area of Maize House which is in the centre of Highweek, being a sought-after residential area on the outskirts of Newton Abbot. Highweek has a local public house, village hall and church whilst nearby there are primary and secondary educational facilities. The market town of Newton Abbot offers a wide range of amenities including; various shops, restaurants and cafes, supermarkets, hospital, primary and secondary schools, leisure centre and train station with main line links to London Paddington. Nearby is the A38 which provides speedy access to Plymouth, Exeter and the M5 beyond. Whilst Dartmoor National Park and the sandy beaches of Teignmouth and Torbay are only a short distance away.
DESCRIPTION The vendors have successfully gained detailed, conditional planning permission for two new detached houses to be built in the garden of Maize House. With a new driveway up to the plots, these new homes will have both generous gardens themselves and stunning far reaching views over the countryside beyond.
PLANNING PERMISSION Conditional, detailed planning permission was passed on 2nd July 2021 under reference 20/01961/FUL with 3 years for commencement of construction. All the relevant plans are available on the Teignbridge planning website, or you can request them from the selling agents.
The two dwellings are to be detached and over two storeys. The ground floor would provide a kitchen, dining and sitting room areas, together with utilities and downstairs w/c. The house on Plot B also benefits from an additional study/bedroom. The upper floors of the properties provide 3 double bedrooms with a shared bathroom and ensuite to the master bedroom. Both houses use traditional brickwork and utilise a simple gabled form. Modern metal clad extensions and window surrounds are used on the Southern and Eastern elevations of both houses to provide visual interest and break up the massing of the main gable. Modern flat roofs have been chosen on these extensions to reduce the overall bulk of the properties and to allow the house on Plot A to have unobstructed views to the North East.
DIRECTIONS From the centre of Highweek, pass the public house on your left, turning immediately left. The entrance drive to Maize House is found on the left hand side. The initial drive section will be shared, until the new drive to the plot, will continue straight up the garden to the building plots at the top of the garden.
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY (CIL) The sellers architect has assessed the CIL payment to be £31,403.15, but further clarification to confirm this amount is due.
