The site
The site currently exists of a combination of mature hedgerows, trees and woodland which enclose the site along with scrub, ruderal vegetation and grassland.
The former quarrying activities has created a man-made topography with significant level changes compared with the original and adjacent slope of the land. This has provided an opportunity to create a truly contemporary property within this stunning, unique and secluded parcel of land.

The Western part of the site lies relatively flat and at the same height as the road, the eastern extent of the site comprises much higher ground.
The site comprises a distinct quarry face, which extends in a crescent shape to approximately 10m at its highest point resulting in far reaching, wonderful views to the west. The site is truly an oasis for wildlife and tranquillity .

The plot measure approximately 8.9 acres in total.

Planning has been granted for a contemporary property of approximately 8,500sq ft, which will be constructed in a disused quarry in the AONB. Sitting in the middle of the plot, the property will be flooded with light due to large windows and spacious accommodation.

The property will have 6 bedrooms and 6 reception rooms. The first floor will have 4 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms including the master with a dressing room.

The open plan ground floor will have a large kitchen and 4 reception rooms. A private guest wing sits to the left of the property and has 2 bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms and open plan kitchen and sitting room. There is a 1 bedroom staff quarters with separate access. In addition, there is a leisure complex including a gym, indoor swimming pool, outdoor plunge pool, spa and changing room.
