Every great home starts with a blank canvas, and opportunities like this don't come along very often. Nestled along a peaceful country lane in the sought after village of Stowe-by-Chartley, this exceptional building plot offers the chance to create a truly remarkable home that combines cutting edge sustainability with luxurious modern family living.

Benefitting from planning permission for an outstanding four bedroom detached residence, this is far more than just a parcel of land. It is an opportunity to build a home that has been thoughtfully designed to achieve the prestigious Passive House Plus standard, placing it amongst the most energy efficient homes that can be built today.

The approved plans showcase an impressive contemporary home offering beautifully balanced accommodation extending to an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room that forms the heart of the property, creating a wonderful space for everyday family life and entertaining alike. Complementing this are a separate utility room and the increasingly desirable benefit of two dedicated study rooms, making the design ideal for home working, hobbies or flexible family living.

The property is designed with four generous bedrooms, including two luxurious en suite bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and an additional shower room, ensuring excellent practicality for larger families and visiting guests.

The approved Passive House design has been modelled to achieve exceptional performance, including an incredibly low predicted annual heating demand of just 7 kWh/(m²a), significantly exceeding current Building Regulation standards. The proposed home also incorporates triple glazed Passive House certified windows and doors, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), outstanding levels of insulation, exceptional airtightness and an integrated photovoltaic solar array, resulting in a home that is predicted to generate much of its own renewable energy whilst providing superb comfort throughout the year.

Located within the charming rural village of Stowe-by-Chartley, the plot enjoys an enviable balance of countryside tranquillity and convenience. Surrounded by beautiful Staffordshire countryside, the village offers a peaceful setting whilst remaining within easy reach of Stafford, Stone, Uttoxeter and Rugeley. Excellent road connections via the A51 provide straightforward access to the M6 motorway network, making commuting across the Midlands both practical and convenient.

The nearby county town of Stafford offers an excellent range of shopping, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly regarded schooling, whilst Stafford railway station provides regular high speed rail services to both London Euston and Manchester, making the area increasingly popular with professionals seeking village life without sacrificing connectivity.

Whether you are looking to create your forever family home, build one of Staffordshire's most energy efficient properties or invest in an exceptional self-build opportunity, this outstanding building plot presents an exciting chance to bring an innovative vision to life in a beautiful countryside setting.

Stafford Borough Council has granted full planning permission for this outstanding Passive House Plus dwelling under Application No. 25/41286/FUL. The comprehensive planning package includes detailed architectural drawings, supporting technical reports and Passive House design documentation, all of which are available for inspection upon request or via Stafford Borough Council's Planning Portal.

Anti-Money Laundering & ID Checks

Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler or Guild365, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £30.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.
