Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, which gives access to Cardiff and London. Additionally, the M50 motorway begins in Ross, providing good access to the M5, Bristol, and Birmingham.

DESCRIPTION
This plot of land, approximately four acres in size, has planning permission for the construction of ten eco homes. The site is tucked away in an idyllic corner of the south Herefordshire countryside, a stone's throw from an extremely well-regarded and award-winning gastropub. A network of main roads is within easy reach, offering convenient routes into several welcoming market towns, a charming cathedral city, and various major UK cities.

ACCOMMODATION
The Hambletts is a proposed exclusive development of ten impressive market homes. There would be two 2-bedroom link detached houses (each circa 103 square metres), one 3-bedroom detached bungalow (circa 116 square metres), four 3-bedroom detached houses (each circa 126 square metres), and three 4-bedroom homes (ranging from circa 210-219 square metres).

The plot of around four acres is presently mainly grassland enclosed by trees, but there is a small natural lake which would serve as a captivating element within the garden of the largest four-bedroom home.

AMENITIES
The access road has been designed to an adoptable standard, and a site investigation confirms the land is not contaminated and normal foundations are suitable.

SERVICES
Eight of the ten properties would have garaging, and all would have air-source heating, solar PV panels, and access to a mains water and electricity supply.

Foul drainage is to be via a private package treatment discharging to borehole soakaways, which are already in place and benefit from the necessary EA permit. Surface water will be attenuated prior to discharge off site.

TERMS
The site benefits from full planning approved by Herefordshire Council in September 2024 – ref P222616/F. For full details, please see the local authority's property portal: bit.ly/4oVGJPV

The application is not confined by any section 106 agreement or affordable housing requirements. The land is also outside of the River Wye and Lugg catchments, and therefore, no phosphate credits are payable. The development is also not subject to a requirement to meet the Biodiversity Net Gain Regulations, as the application was submitted before the Regulations came into force.

Full drawings, reports and other relevant information are available in the data pack prepared by the agents.

Agent's note: The acreage is an estimate and would need to be verified by solicitors.
