This well-proportioned site for residential development is located in a prime position of a lively and attractive market town, Tavistock which offers great potential as an investment. The corner plot includes easy access to both Ford Street and Drake Villas, together with proximity to local shops and amenities.

Proposals have been drawn up for a six-unit residential apartment development on the site under Planning Application Ref: 1355/19/FUL, together with planning for a separate two-bedroom Cottage. The planning permission allows for the apartments with one parking space each across two levels. The entrance leads to a rear parking courtyard with individual spaces for each of the six apartments. The apartments themselves all include open-plan living space and two double bedrooms and four of the proposed units have en suites in the principal bedrooms.

The proposed cottage adjoins 9 Ford Street, and is a well-presented cottage offering a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor. There is two good sized bedrooms on the first floor, one of which benefits from an en suite. The site represents a rare opportunity to purchase in a sought-after position in this desirable market town.
