Building plot with full planning permission for a five bedroom dwelling

A rare opportunity to create an exceptional country residence.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot with full planning permission and fully comprehensive construction drawings for an impressive new country residence, thoughtfully designed to embrace its beautiful surroundings and maximise the exceptional south-westerly and westerly views.

The approved scheme provides for a striking two-storey home of approximately 347m², together with a detached garage, landscaped gardens, private terraces and extensive areas of outdoor living.

The design is contemporary yet sympathetic to its setting, combining traditional architectural influences with beautifully considered modern elements. The result is a distinctive and highly individual home designed around the way we live today.

The proposed property has been carefully positioned and orientated to make the most of the site's natural attributes. Its considered L-shaped arrangement creates a series of private and sheltered external spaces, whilst opening the principal living areas towards the sun and the expansive countryside views.

The architectural composition brings together three distinct elements: a traditional central form, a contemporary timber-clad wing and a detached garage. These are connected by a dramatic two-storey glazed link, creating a wonderful sense of arrival and providing an enticing view through the house towards the countryside beyond.

The roofline has been deliberately kept below those of neighbouring properties, allowing the new home to sit comfortably within its surroundings.

Designed for Modern Country Living

At the heart of the proposed house is a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living space extending across the rear of the property.
Large areas of glazing and beautifully positioned corner windows draw the landscape into the house, while direct access onto the substantial rear terrace creates a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The terrace has been designed for entertaining and outdoor dining, with a contemporary brise soleil providing shade to the extensive rear glazing.
A separate outdoor living area, complete with fireplace, provides a more intimate and sheltered setting for relaxing with family and friends, enjoying the southerly aspect and surrounding landscape.

The first floor is centred around an impressive principal bedroom suite, designed to capture the long westerly views. Sliding doors open onto a private balcony incorporated within the brise soleil, creating a peaceful place to enjoy the outlook.
Two further bedrooms are positioned to take advantage of the south-westerly views, with bathrooms and ancillary accommodation arranged towards the eastern side of the house.
Additional accommodation within the glazed link provides flexibility for guests, family members, home working or changing requirements over time.

Outside
Privacy has been carefully considered throughout the design.
The northern boundary is more enclosed, creating a private edge to the property and providing separation from the adjacent Public Right of Way. A stone wall and gated entrance discreetly screen practical elements including the bins, washing line and air-source heat pump.
The approved landscaping incorporates a private south-facing guest garden, rear courtyard and generous south-westerly terrace, creating a series of distinct outdoor spaces for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the setting.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial plot with the benefit of full planning permission already secured.

The approved residence offers approximately 347m² of accommodation, generous entertaining space, a detached garage, private gardens and outstanding countryside views, all within a carefully considered architectural design.
The combination of scale, privacy, contemporary design, exceptional views and planning certainty makes this an outstanding opportunity to create a bespoke country residence of considerable quality and character.
