Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial plot extending to in excess of half an acre, with implemented full planning permission for the construction of a striking single-storey, four-bedroom environmentally sustainable dwelling.

Planning consent was granted by under reference 3/21/2436/FUL. The approved scheme provides generous single-storey accommodation, delivering the significant advantage of level living throughout. The layout readily lends itself to step-free access and future-proofed accommodation, making it particularly well suited to purchasers seeking accessible or mobility-conscious design. The approved design has been prepared and presented by RIBA award-winning architects, offering a contemporary, energy-conscious home designed to complement its rural surroundings. The site enjoys an attractive countryside position between Buntingford and Hare Street, ideal for those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle without isolation. Buntingford provides everyday amenities including shops, cafés, public houses and schooling. Rail services are available from Ware (approx. 11 miles) and Royston (approx. 7 miles), both offering direct services into London. The A10 offers convenient road access to Cambridge and London. The surrounding countryside offers extensive footpaths and bridleways, with well-regarded golf courses nearby including East Herts Golf Club, Whitehills Golf Club and Barkway Park Golf Club. The current developers are willing to undertake the build, subject to agreed terms and specification, providing flexibility for purchasers wishing to tailor the finished home.
