Sites with Planning Permission for 3 Holiday Homes
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a stunning property in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the opportunity to construct three holiday cottages, literally a stone's throw from the Irish Sea. With unobstructed sea views and easy access to the various tourist and cultural attractions of the area the cottages will make a superb base to explore and enjoy the area.
- Churn Rock Holiday Cottages This scheme involves the restoration of three vernacular buildings dating from the early 1800’s for use as holiday cottages – the host “Farmhouse”, a “Fisherman’s Cottage” and a range of working “Outhouses”.
