Summary - HIGHMEAD COURT 5 SAWYERS HALL LANE BRENTWOOD CM15 9DB
1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
Consented 14‑flat development near Elizabeth Line for investor developers.
14 consented apartments via airspace prior approvals
Approximately 8,232 sqft (765 sqm) total accommodation
0.9 miles to Brentwood Elizabeth Line station
Freehold sale with full vacant possession
Estimated CIL ~£191,250 across both sites
Very high local crime — security/insurance implications
Slow broadband speeds; mid‑century stock needs refurbishment
Large grounds with parking and communal outdoor space
A rare airspace development opportunity across two substantial mid‑century blocks in Brentwood, offering prior approval to deliver 14 flats (8 x 1‑bed, 6 x 2‑bed). The consented schemes for Burgess Court and Highmead Court each permit an additional storey; consent details and appeal reference are provided and a new lease with full development rights will be granted. The site is freehold and will be sold with full vacant possession.
The location suits commuters and rental demand, sitting about 0.9 miles from Brentwood station (Elizabeth Line) with quick access to the M25, A12 and A127. The buildings occupy very large grounds with mature landscaping, communal parking and scope to add vehicle, cycle and refuse facilities as consented. Estimated accommodation totals approximately 8,232 sq ft (765 sq m).
Material considerations are clear: estimated CIL contributions are significant (approx. £106,750 for Burgess Court and £84,500 for Highmead Court) and broadband speeds are reported slow. The surrounding area records very high crime levels — a factor for lettings, security measures and insurance. The blocks are 1960s purpose‑built stock and will require standard refurbishment and project management to deliver the new homes.
Offers are invited in excess of £800,000, subject to contract. This opportunity is best suited to developers or investor‑builders able to absorb CIL and deliver a medium‑scale airspace build‑out in a commuter market with strong school provision and good road and rail links.
