BUILDING PLOTS, Mile End Road, Highweek, Newton Abbot, TQ12

DARACOMBE COURT (THE COURT PLOT) - TQ12 1RW

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a large building plot of approximately 0.45 ha (1.11 acres) in a stunning sylvan setting within this exclusive development of just ten other luxury bespoke homes. Previous planning permissions on this plot have been for a large bespoke dwelling, however, the plot now benefits from outline planning permission for 3 detached dwellings (Ref.22/00237/OUT), with one larger plot and two smaller plots. The plots are available individually or the site as a whole from guide prices listed below.

The largely level plot was, in part, the former tennis court of Daracombe House and the grounds have been carefully maintained and the various other plots developed over the past 10 years or so with individually architect designed houses.

DARACOMBE PARK

Daracombe House is a superb, imposing old manor house situated in its own walled grounds which formerly comprised part of the Seale Hayne estate. It is located on the western fringe of Newton Abbot on the edge of the sought-after village of Highweek. The house was purchased as part of the prestigious redevelopment of Daracombe Park and has been refurbished and brought back into use as a fabulous family home. The old walled garden has been developed into a new dwelling and a crescent of four very stylish, contemporary houses was developed between the house and the walled garden. Four more modern and impressive houses have been developed to the south and east of the main old house and this is the last remaining plot which will complete this gated parkland development.

DARACOMBE PARK MANAGEMENT COMPANY LIMITED

An estate management company has been established to ensure the smooth running of the estate and maintenance of the grounds, estate road and electronic entrance gates, etc.. The plot currently contributes 9.0909% (1/11th) towards the annual service charge and reserve fund (for the period 1st October 2019 to 30th September 2020 the amount was £600). However, if more than one dwelling is developed on this plot then the management company would reapportion the contributions accordingly to reflect 13 properties rather than 11 contributing to the annual charges and fund.
