Description

Folly Farm offers a unique opportunity to create a private retreat on the outskirts of London – well-connected yet surrounded by open farmland. Set within the Green Belt, this private and peaceful retreat enjoys panoramic views across wildflower meadows and agricultural land, making it a rare
offering in such proximity to the capital.

The existing property spans approximately 6,180 sq ft (574 sqm) and stands in just under 4 acres of land which includes a range of amenities including an outdoor pool, football pitch, and basketball court surrounded by farmland views.

The property benefits from planning consent to demolish the existing house and amenities, and to replace it with a contemporary new-build home of approximately 6,400 sq ft (594 sqm), including a basement of 815 sq ft (76 sqm). This consent is being lawfully implemented by the vendor to
ensure it remains live, giving future owners the freedom to build the consented design in their own time.

For those seeking to retain the farmhouse charm, RedBook has developed an alternative, light-touch proposal that resembles a refurbishment throughout, which seeks to enhance the internal layout, increase natural light, and update the interiors to meet the standards of contemporary
living – all within permitted development rights and without the need for further planning consent.

RedBook’s specialist team has provided indicative programmes and budgets for both the refurbishment and new build options. Depending on the chosen route, Folly Farm could be ready for occupation in as little as 21 months.

We are pleased to present our Project Appraisal for Folly Farm – a one-of-a-kind opportunity to invest in a characterful, well-connected, and private home on London’s rural fringe.
