Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • A detached country house in large gardens and grounds with a detached annex/outbuilding
  • In need of modernisation and completing (part constructed)
  • Excellent opportunity for self builders or developers, with extensive planning consents in place and expired
  • Gardens and paddocks, in all nearly 5 acres
  • Not suitable for immediate occupation

An exciting development/self build opportunity in a lovely rural location in gardens and grounds of 4.8 acres.

A partially developed modern country house offering a superb opportunity to create a stunning family home, standing in superb large gardens and grounds with planning permission to extend and develop, and further scope to link the outbuildings to create a magnificent 5300 square foot house (consent would be required).

Accessed by a long private drive off Raddel Lane, the house stands in decent formal gardens, with the majority of the land providing useful paddocks for equestrian or other uses. 

NB The existing vacant house has planning permission to enlarge to circa 2500 square feet, a detached adjacent double garage and a large two storey outbuilding. Attaching both the double garage and large detached outbuilding would make a house of over 5000 square feet although the link element would require further planning consent. The indicative main CGI image is depicting the linked development which would require the further consent.

The house requires extensive further spend in addition to the purchase price, but once complete would make a superb family home.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 24, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 24, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
