Description

This isn’t just a parcel of land. It’s a chance to create something seriously special.

Already home to an established farmhouse, barn and outbuildings, the site has something most development opportunities simply don’t: character from day one.

Planning permission in principle is already in place, with the current vision allowing for approximately four substantial individual homes, each potentially around 1,600-1,800 sq ft, subject to the necessary detailed planning consents.

But this is where it gets interesting.

This isn’t about squeezing as many units as possible onto a plot.

The scale of the site, existing buildings, mature greenery and open surroundings create the opportunity to build a small, considered collection of genuinely impressive homes, a development with identity, space and presence.

Four great houses.

Generous plots.

An established setting.

And the opportunity for the right developer to put their stamp on the whole thing.

There may also be scope to explore alternative layouts, configurations or uses, subject of course to planning.

The setting is already here. The character is already here.

What happens next is where the opportunity lies.

Summary:

An existing farmhouse, barn and outbuilding development opportunity with planning permission in principle and the potential for an attractive small residential scheme. The current proposal envisages approximately four substantial homes of around 1,600–1,800 sq ft each, with alternative development opportunities potentially available subject to planning permission.
