Description

A truly unique opportunity to purchase a large, single plot on the edge of the South Downs National Park.

Planning consent has been granted by Chichester District Council for a jaw dropping, contemporary dwelling set in 24 acres of beautiful, Sussex countryside.

The house design, by Hawkes Architecture, will incorporate dark snapped flint and metal cladding, contrasting to the white render of the curved interior facing courtyard walls, all of which will blend seamlessly into the woodland backdrop.

Externally, the formal garden, with field flint walls will include a number of external seating areas. The area outside the walls will include both existing and new woodland areas, an orchard, a wildflower meadow, a natural wetland area, grazing pasture, plus a pond.

Internally, in excess of 13,000 square feet across 2 floors will be available for the buyer to create their perfect home, featuring smooth, curved walls throughout, a large central hallway and curved staircase. This unique and bespoke design will include a sustainable renewable energy system and 80 sqm of garage space, with parking for six vehicles.

Full details of the approved floor plans are available on request.

Full details regarding planning can be found via planning reference 23/02471/FUL with Chichester District Council.

Woodmancote is located close to the historic city of Chichester, West Sussex and the plot is accessible via a peaceful country lane.

The area is surrounded by beautiful, rolling countryside, and is lined with charming, traditional cottages and larger homes, many of which are set in spacious grounds or surrounded by farmland, creating a sense of privacy and exclusivity. The landscape here is quintessentially English countryside with lush green fields, hedgerows, and wooded areas, making it a great location for those who appreciate outdoor beauty and a quiet lifestyle.

A 15 minute drive takes you into the centre of Chichester while Emsworth Station offers direct services to London Waterloo with a typical journey time of around 1 hour and 30 minutes.

The buyer will have the option to work with Hawkes Architecture to create the perfect internal layout and to produce the working drawings.

They will also fully specify all internal features including kitchen, flooring, sanitary ware, etc.

After the plot is purchased, the house will be constructed by the approved main contractor under a fully fixed price JCT build contract. All work can be overseen by an independent surveyor and all payments for the build will be made monthly in arrears.

Site viewings are strictly by appointment only.
