Description

** Substantial Plot with Planning Consent for a Five Bedroom Detached House of 5,500 sqft **

Birch Farm presents a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home of 5,500 sqft on an exceptional plot extending to approximately 3.5 acres. Beautifully positioned on the western side of White Stubbs Lane, in a peaceful and highly private setting, the site enjoys stunning south-facing views across open countryside towards the London skyline.

Accessed via a private driveway serving just four other individual homes, Birch Farm offers both exclusivity and privacy. Electric gates open onto the property, which occupies the final position along the drive. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and currently include a detached cabin occupying the footprint of the proposed new residence, which is to be demolished. In addition, there is an existing storage barn with planning consent granted for a bespoke enclosed storage barn to be repositioned further from the proposed house within the adjoining field. Further information can be found under East Herts planning reference 3/24/0563/FUL.

The setting of Birch Farm is one of its defining features, offering a peaceful countryside environment with a wonderful sense of seclusion, while combining rural living with excellent connectivity. Broxbourne Station is just two and a half miles away, providing direct services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 30 minutes.

The surrounding area offers an abundance of leisure and outdoor amenities, including several renowned golf courses, extensive footpaths and bridleways, and immediate access to Broxbourne Woods, Hertfordshire’s only National Nature Reserve and a designated Special Area of Conservation of European significance. The woods support an exceptional range of wildlife, including notable species such as the Purple Emperor butterfly and the recently returned Woodcock.

Enjoying a tranquil and idyllic setting, Birch Farm provides a rare balance of privacy, natural beauty and accessibility, making it an exceptional opportunity to create a landmark home in one of East Hertfordshire’s most desirable semi-rural locations.
