Description
An incredibly rare opportunity to purchase a building plot with consented plans to demolish the existing derelict building and to build a cutting edge, contemporary family home of around 729 sq metres (7827 sq ft). Planning permission (Ref. No: 22/04322/FUL) has been granted following an application by gfivethree architects, who have carefully designed the spectacular house to blend into the mature grounds, set over three levels using the topography of the site. The house incorporates exceptional open plan living areas to the south of the property, with bedroom accommodation to the north, linked by more formal areas to create a stunning internal courtyard. The design principle has been to make the outside as accessible as possible, ensuring a seamless blend from indoors to outdoors.
The site extends to around 0.76 acres and has a variety of mature trees, creating a sense of privacy and tranquillity.
