An exceptional holding of approximately 23 acres, comprising of 4.7 acres of land and an 19 acre freshwater lochan, located on the fringe of the coastal village of Benderloch, with conditional planning permission for the development of a single residential dwelling.
Set in a tranquil location on the fringe of the popular coastal village of Benderloch, the Land opposite Barcaldine Castle offers buyers an opportunity to acquire a parcel of land extending to approximately four acres, benefitting from conditional planning consent for a four-bedroom, 1.5 storey residential property. The plot enjoys a private south-facing setting across Lochan Dubh towards Ben Lora and is not overlooked by any neighbours.
Further details of the planning consent can be found on the Argyll and Bute council website, under reference 11/02209/PP. A meaningful start has been made to secure planning permission in perpetuity. These works include the formation of a bell-mouth entrance at the roadside, new access track, excavation of the plot. Landscaping and drainage plans have also been produced by the architect.
It should be noted that the planning permission is subject to a Section 75 notice relating to an archive room being attached to the dwelling. The new owners of the land will be required to apply for this notice to be lifted or submit a revised planning application.
In addition to the land, the sale includes Lochan Dubh, an inland freshwater loch extending to an area of approximately 19 acres. Access to Lochan Dubh is by foot from the land, enjoying right of way across neighbouring land. A charming, bespoke Shepherd’s hut, with woodburning stove, is included in the sale and is towable to an alternative position.
A right of access to the Telecoms mast (not included in the sale) is to be retained and the road splits to retain privacy to the approved house site. In practice, access for maintenance is occasional and is by prior arrangement. A large gravel carpark is also included and could be used for a variety of purposes including garage, outbuildings and/or material storage during the build process.
The land originally formed part of the estate owned by Barcaldine Castle, a 17th century tower house castle which is located directly opposite the access gate. Interest in the land is expected to be high, and early viewing is recommended
