The Glade, Kingswood

Set on an elevated, south facing plot of some 0.45 of an acre, and located in a highly regarded private road on the edge of Kingswood village, is this rare and excellent development opportunity that we are pleased to offer to the market.

There are an ever decreasing number of opportunities to build a large single detached executive new home, or indeed a small development, be it of two attached houses or 4 luxury apartments, in a private and sought after road in Kingswood, let alone ones with full planning already granted. However, we have a rare opportunity to explore a number of different options on a plot that measures some 0.45 acres and currently offers a detached, dilapidated bungalow with planning permission granted to demolish the existing bungalow and to develop a three-storey scheme comprising of four substantial apartments. Alternatively we believe there are a number of other potential development options that might also utilise the footprint, such as two attached properties, or indeed a beautiful single detached home, subject to planning or amendments. The current scheme, which includes basement parking, is in excess of 10,000 sq ft.

The approved planning was granted under planning reference 18/01742/F . This approval remains live, as demolition works have commenced.

Flat 1 – Lower Ground Floor – 3 beds – 1959 sq ft
Flat 2 – Upper Ground Floor – 3 beds – 2228 sq ft
Flat 3 – First Floor – 2 beds – 1130 sq ft
Flat 4 – First & Second Floor – 2 beds - 1840 sq ft

In the summer of 2025, an application was submitted for a two unit scheme which, rather controversially, was declined, having been informed by the planning officer a few weeks prior to the decision, that it would be passed; Planning Application 25/01259/F. Preparations have been made to appeal the decision, but given the number of options available, our client has decided to secure a sale and then proposes to work with the incumbent in whichever route is mutually agreed.

We are looking to have positive conversations with parties who are keen to pursue any one of the options available; be it a refurbishment of the existing bungalow, submit an application for a luxury single dwelling, appeal for a two unit site, or indeed build out the scheme with existing planning, we would be happy to meet you on site, discuss further details or answer any questions you may have. In the first instance, please ask to speak to Peter Kennedy, founder of Kennedys` IPA and Head of Land and New Homes.
