Description
Harley Cottage is a fully modernised and refurbished house of character on a private road in the centre of Gerrards Cross — set in roughly an acre of lawn and woodland, with a wildlife pond, and screened by magnificent trees.
What makes it rare is what comes with it: full planning permission for a second, contemporary house within the grounds, designed by RIBA architects Wadhal & Co, with the preliminaries done. Two detached homes on one plot — for family, for income, or for the self-builder who wants a shovel-ready site in the heart of GX.
An acre. Your own woodland. Deer at the pond.
The plot runs to approximately one acre and is very private, screened by magnificent trees. Lawns surround the house; to the other side of the drive a further expanse of lawn gives way to a lightly wooded area — your own woodland, on the woodland edge, where the wildlife action really is.
The Convex House.
Consented. Ready to build.
Within the grounds, full planning permission has been granted for a new modernist dwelling by RIBA architects Wadhal & Co of London — approximately 1,800 sq ft, in flint, curving with the landscape over two levels behind a fully glazed rear elevation.
Why this is rare?
The opportunity to build a new modernist home in a setting like this is extremely rare — the planning process is highly complex and costly, and it has been done. This project is ready to go: preliminaries completed, S106 already paid, and the plans and artefacts can be made available, including transferable licences and insurances, technical design, site investigation, structural engineering and thermal modelling.
Country at the door. Marylebone by breakfast.
Twelve minutes on foot to Gerrards Cross station, then around twenty minutes on the train into London Marylebone. The M40/M25 junction is close, and there's a bus to Heathrow from the end of Bull Lane.
