Description

A unique opportunity to purchase an amazing development site of 16.66 acres, with planning permission for the construction of a striking and contemporary dwelling of over 4000 ft.²

Description:
Basingstoke and Deane Council have granted for planning permission for a very individual and interesting detached dwelling to be constructed in this unique location. The proposed house offers striking contemporary style living situated around a central courtyard from where there will be wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and Watership Down. The house will be situated at the end of a drive, in a very quiet location and the paddock land extends to the south from where there are amazing views. Planning permission was granted in January 2023 under the application 21-03852 – FUL, and then a revised proposal with granted under a section 73 application under reference 25–0 0902 – ROC in December 2025. Many of the conditions relating to the application were discharged at this time via another application. Both decision notices are available from the selling agents or from the Basingstoke and Deane planning portal – all the proposed plans for the dwelling can be viewed via this portal. The site was originally occupied by farm buildings which have all been demolished and removed so the land is now clear and ready for construction.

Tenure:
Freehold

Services:
Buyers will need to make their own enquiries relating to services but it is likely that the site will have mains water and electricity, sewage will be via a private treatment plant and the heating will be via an air source heat pump.
