An exceptional opportunity to acquire a prime residential building plot in a highly sought-after rural village, home to fewer than 300 residents. Nestled amidst open countryside and only 15 minutes from Selby, the location offers the perfect balance of peaceful village living and convenient access to nearby towns and transport links.
Planning & Design
Planning permission has been granted for a striking, architect-designed family home of approximately 4,000 sq.ft. The brief was to create a truly impressive residence that showcases modern architecture and high-quality materials, while also offering functionality and luxury throughout.
The proposed accommodation is arranged traditionally over two floors, with the ground floor designed around a substantial open-plan living area — ideal for family life and entertaining — complemented by a separate formal sitting room and a dedicated games room.
Upstairs, the design centres around a dramatic galleried landing that sets the tone for luxury living. The first floor provides five generously proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite, offering outstanding comfort and practicality for family life or guests.
Offers are invited for the Freehold Interest in the site, subject to contract. Plans and the decision notice are available from the selling agent or can be downloaded from the North Yorkshire Council planning portal site.
Services & Costs
Mains water and electricity connections are the responsibility of the purchaser(s); these will need to be brought to the property from the roadside.
There are currently no connected services to the land.
The heating has been designed to use an air source heat pump, offering sustainable and efficient heating.
A private sewerage treatment plant is required as part of the design.
