Residential Development Plot
A rare opportunity to acquire a generously sized building plot, set in a peaceful and secluded position within the highly sought-after coastal village of Gurnard. Full planning permission has been granted under reference 26/00061/FUL for the construction of a striking contemporary dwelling. The approved design offers stylish, modern accommodation arranged over two floors, incorporating extensive glazing and a first-floor balcony to maximise natural light and outlook. The scheme also includes a mix of natural materials, with timber cladding and stonework, creating an attractive coastal aesthetic in keeping with the surroundings.

The proposed layout has been thoughtfully designed to provide well-proportioned living space, with a strong emphasis on indoor-outdoor living and connection to the garden.

The plot is approached via a shared driveway serving only one other property, providing a tucked-away setting with a good degree of privacy. It further benefits from a desirable south-westerly rear aspect, ideally positioned to enjoy Gurnard’s famous sunsets.
