Description
Planning permission was granted on 11th July 2022 (Ref: DC/22/02418/FUL) for the erection of a new dwelling and cartlodge, following demolition of the building approved for conversion.  A copy of the planning permission, together with extracts of the consented plans, is included within these particulars.  

The planning permission provides for the construction of an impressive, contemporary dwelling that extends to approximately 2,150 sq feet (200 sqm) in all.  The drawings that accompanied the planning permission provide for a mixture of vertical timber cladding together with rendered and colour-washed elevations set within a steel portal frame underneath a pitched standing seam zinc (or similar) roof.  It is intended that the windows and doors will be in a complementary black or grey frame.  

The proposed accommodation will comprise an entrance hall, large open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with sliding doors opening onto a covered patio area and the rear garden, study, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor.  On the first floor there will be a galleried landing area, an impressive principal bedroom suite that also enjoys views to the north-west over the rear garden and beyond, with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, together with two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. 

Outside it is planned that the proposed dwelling will be set well back from the road, and approached over a generous driveway that leads to the double cartlodge and parking area located just beside the property.   There will be gardens that flank the driveway, where a number of mature trees are to be retained.  There is also a good size garden to the rear, together with large patio area that can be directly accessed from the open plan kitchen/dining and living room.  Facing in a westerly direction the rear garden will enjoy the sun during the second half of the day and into the evening.
