Description

Brocksfield Stables is presently an equestrian facility comprising stable block, further building, menage and paddocks set in a lovely rural plot of about 6.81 acres. The property has planning permission granted for change of use of the existing stables with external alterations, to form a four bedroom detached dwelling with associated car parking and use of existing vehicular access. You can view the associated document on the Welwyn and Hatfield planning portal, reference 6/2024/0042/FULL. This offers a wonderful opportunity for a self builder to create their dream home, with the additional benefit of an extensive plot.

The site is located in a rural location less than a mile from Ayot St Peter and approximately 1.4 miles from the centre of Welwyn village. The land is mainly paddock with the stable block located in one corner next to an existing building that will be converted into a store for the new house. There are lovely westerly views across the grounds from where the stables are located.

We are informed by the seller that there is a Klargester septic tank already fitted. The paddocks have mains fed water facilities in place. Vehicular access exists from Homerswood Lane and the planning allows for a parking area to the side of the proposed property.
