Description
Planning permission has been granted for a contemporary three-bedroom detached home. All pre-commencement conditions have been satisfied, including the full site set-out for tree preservation (TPO) and root protection zones (RPZ).
Accessed via “Old Drovers Way”, the plot lies within the former walled gardens of Stratton Manor, creating a rare opportunity to create a bespoke property in one of Stratton’s most peaceful and sought-after locations. The site is fully serviced, with electricity, water, BT ducting and a mains-connected private sewage pump station already installed.
Planning permission has been granted for a contemporary three-bedroom detached home, as well as additional consent for a one-bedroom cabin-style dwelling if desired. All pre-commencement conditions have been satisfied, including the full site set-out for tree preservation (TPO) and root protection zones (RPZ), eliminating the typical pre-build delays and enabling immediate commencement.
Most purchasers are likely to focus on building the approved three-bedroom dwelling, as the plot offers substantial long-term residential value. However, the approved cabin presents an opportunity for holiday rental income or a cost-effective build. Potential applicants may also explore modular design-led alternatives, such as a Koto-style cabin (subject to planning), to fast-track a return on investment or create a compact, design-led coastal retreat.
LOCATION
Located just off Old Drovers Way, the plot enjoys a highly desirable location, within easy walking distance of the charming and historic market town of Stratton. The area offers a variety of essential amenities, including a post office, pubs, hospital and a range of community services.
The thriving coastal town of Bude lies just five miles to the west, renowned for its sandy beaches, excellent surfing, extensive shopping, highly rated schools and wide choice of leisure activities, including an 18-hole links golf course. The surrounding coastline, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers breathtaking clifftop walks, water sports and outdoor pursuits.
For broader amenities and travel connections, the bustling market town of Holsworthy is approximately 10 miles inland, while Bideford, around 28 miles to the northeast, provides further shopping facilities and access to the A39 North Devon Link Road. The town of Okehampton, on the edge of Dartmoor National Park and approximately 30 miles away, offers access to the A30 dual carriageway leading to Exeter with an international airport and access to the M5 motorway network.
APPROVED PLANS
The approved plans propose a contemporary two-story home set within a mature, tree-lined plot with parking for two vehicles. Once complete, the property will feature an entrance hall, sitting room, open-plan kitchen/dining room, utility room, WC, plant room, three well-proportioned bedrooms (including a principal bedroom with en-suite) and a family bathroom.
PLANNING PERMISSION
Conditional planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on 17th August 2023 (Ref: PA23/04161) for the construction of a dwelling, representing a revised design to the previously approved scheme under application PA18/07303.

Please note that a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) liability of £19,089.02 applies to the development, payable by the developer. However, we understand that self-builders intending to occupy the property as their main residence for a minimum of three years may be eligible for a full exemption.
