THE GARDEN PLOT Planning was passed in 2007 and extended in 2011 (Ref: P/2011/0653) to build a 2 bedroom bungalow on a plot at the bottom of the garden. The current owners are in the process of re-applying for planning. The plot, which is registered on a separate title, measures approximately 0.25 of an acres and also benefits from the tremendous sea views. Due to the plot being at a lower level the proposed dwelling would not obstruct the views. Please contact us for further details. SERVICES Mains gas, electricity, water, private drainage.
