Lot 7 Over Three Acres Of Land With Planning For 15 Detached Bungalows In A Popular LocationAuction Date:
11th December 2025
Land At Summers Court, Totland Bay, Freshwater, Isle Of Wight, PO40 9PJ
Key Features
The residential development of Summers Court commenced over 30 years ago, with detached bungalows enjoying this splendid location a short drive from the centre of Freshwater. Further development has taken place slowly in the proceeding years under the terms of the original planning consent which has allowed for this slow drip of development to take place. The remainder of the site is now available and extends to 1.27 hectares (3.13 acres) with the benefit of planning consent for the remaining 15 detached bungalows to be constructed.
The site has the advantage of roadways having previously been laid in to service other development and we are advised that mains services are also available, subject to individual connection to the newly-built bungalows, although prospective purchasers should rely on their own enquiries.
The gently sloping site enjoys a most attractive view towards Afton Down which was the site of the famous 1970 Isle of Wight Music Festival. Freshwater and indeed the western end of the Isle of Wight generally are a popular retirement location, and with planning consent for new bungalows increasingly rare in this day and age it is considered that the demand for the newly-built units is likely to be strong.
