A rare, high-spec opportunity: a substantial freehold building plot with full planning permission (WD/2023/1335/F) for a neo‑classical Georgian mansion of approximately 19,000 sq ft, set within c.28 acres of landscaped grounds, lake and ancient woodland. The consented scheme includes extensive leisure provision, balconies with far-reaching views, and a completed guest/staff building with triple garage and a luxury two‑bed apartment above.
This site will suit a family seeking a private country estate with room for equine use and ancillary buildings, or a purchaser wanting a highly bespoke, high-value new build in a secluded rural setting. The design provides eight principal bedrooms (all ensuite), generous reception rooms, and a lower-ground leisure complex with pool, sauna, cinema and gym. Broadband is fast and the site is not in a flood-risk area.
Material points to note: the price reflects the plot and the consented scheme but substantial construction and fit-out costs remain. The mansion is consented but not built; completion will require project management, contractor procurement and ongoing estate maintenance once finished. Council tax and some service details are not yet available. Mobile signal and local crime levels are average; access to mainline stations is by car.
Viewing this plot is recommended for buyers with experience of large bespoke country builds or developers able to manage a major new‑build project. The planning permission and completed ancillary accommodation reduce delivery risk, but purchasers should allow for significant build budgets, long lead times and high running costs associated with a house of this scale.
