Description

Full planning permission was obtained on the 14th February 2024 for the erection of an individual detached four bedroomed dwelling with integral garage (Application No: 23/01851/FUL).

The plot occupies one half of a large private garden to the west of Sandy Lane, with neighboring gardens on two sides and a field to the rear. The planned property has a contemporary design and offers practical, well-balanced accommodation over two floors equaling around 1800 square feet. There will be a large open plan kitchen/living/dining area with lantern above and picture windows and doors to the rear elevation, a snug room to the front and integral garage and four bedrooms on the first floor, one en-suite and the others served by a house bathroom.

The property is to be approached over a private driveway, a pillared entrance leading to a parking bay and turning bay in front. The gardens will lie to the front (north east) and rear (north west) of the property bordered by a mature hedges dotted with deciduous trees, with open fields to the north west.

This represents an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a plot with planning passed for an attractive self-build contemporary house in a popular and sought-after commuter village within easy reach of all amenities.
