About
One of just two self-build plots available in a beautiful woodland setting. Planning permission is in place, offering the perfect opportunity to create your forever home.
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of just two substantial build plots, each extending to approximately 0.35 acres.
Both plots benefit from full planning permission for individually designed detached residences, offering buyers the chance to create a truly bespoke home in a highly desirable setting.
Accessed via a secure intercom operated gate, the development leads to an attractive sweeping driveway which will serve only four exclusive homes, ensuring both privacy and a sense of prestige.
The plots themselves are nestled within beautiful surroundings, with mature trees providing a tranquil backdrop and a high degree of seclusion.
Ideally located in the heart of Dobcross Village, one of Saddleworth’s most sought-after and picturesque locations, this opportunity combines rural charm with everyday convenience.
The village is particularly popular with professionals and families, offering a welcoming community atmosphere alongside a variety of local amenities and recreational activities, including the renowned annual band contest.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, the area provides an abundance of scenic walks and outdoor pursuits, while still benefiting from excellent transport links, with regular bus services connecting to Huddersfield and Manchester city centres.
Families are also well catered for, with a strong selection of well-regarded local schools available for all age groups, further enhancing the appeal of this exceptional location.
