A development opportunity with permission for conversion of the existing stable building at Manor Farm into a single residence on a plot of about 5 acres
Description
This substantial former stables has permission to be converted into a four-bedroom family dwelling within the building’s existing parameters. The location is wonderful, on the edge of the Chilterns AONB and with fine countryside views and the plot extends to about 5 acres, a very rare opportunity for a self builder to create a bespoke family home on a large plot
The existing planning will see the retention of all the external walls however new internal stud partitions are proposed to subdivide the internal floor plate into various rooms. A central hallway with interlinked corridor is proposed, which will allow the existing external openings to serve habitable rooms by way of slot windows overlooking countryside in both directions.
Approached via a private drive shared with Sewell Manor, the plot extends to approximately 5 acres and borders countryside.
To the front of the barn there is a grain silo and a large area of hardstanding. The rest of the plot is mainly contained in two areas of paddocks, both of which are subject to an overage agreement of 50% for a period of 50 years in the event that planning consent is granted for material additional building. The section comprising the barn, silo and hardstanding is excluded from this overage, thereby providing potential purchasers with the option to apply for planning applications for further dwellings within that specific area. Further details available upon request.
