Development opportunity

Full Description

Location
Foxt is a rural village situated in the heart of the Staffordshire Moorlands. Despite being rural, it is quite accessible with good road links to neighbouring towns and cities to include Leek (8.5 miles), Cheadle (4.4 miles), Ashbourne (11.3 miles), Sheffield, Derby and Manchester.

Directions
From the centre of Foxt, head east on Foxt Road through the village. At the junction in the village turn right onto Town End Lane and continue along the road for 100 yards. The land will be found on the right hand side as indicated by our ‘For Sale’ board.

Description
The land is well located within the heart of the village, being accessible and having a wonderful outlook over the surrounding countryside. The purchaser has a wonderful opportunity to construct a stylish dwelling in an attractive part of the Staffordshire Moorlands.

The land has planning consent for the erection of a detached dwelling. This was originally granted in 2018 (ref: SMD/2017/0588) and that consent was secured by works on the land, which included connection to the mains sewer.

A further planning application (Ref: SMD/2021/0156) has been granted for an alternative design from the original, and it is this design that is included within these particulars.

The land extends to 0.44 acres and is complemented by roadside access and surrounded by dry stone walling.

Alongside constructing a dwelling, the land lends itself to those with an active interest in permaculture, gardening and nature restoration, alongside the more traditional grazing and mowing uses.

Services
Mains drainage has been connected. It is assumed that all other services lie within the vicinity and purchasers should rely upon their own enquiries.

Planning
The local planning authority is Staffordshire Moorlands District Council.
Planning consent was originally granted in 2018 (Ref: SMD/2017/0588) and material works were undertaken (in connection to the mains sewer) to secure this consent.
A further application (Ref: SMD/2021/0156) was granted in 2021 to allow a different design from the original.
Access to the development is off the existing access to Brandon House Farm.
