A rare 1.21-acre development plot within a historic walled garden, granted full planning permission for a six-bedroom main house and an adjacent leisure pavilion. The approved designs by award-winning architects (MAW) propose expansive full-height glazing, large open-plan living spaces and a below-ground secure garage for a car collection — a clear opportunity for a high-spec family residence or executive country home.
Sustainability is integral to the proposals: ground source heat pump, photovoltaic panels, green roof and ultra-low energy systems aimed at RIBA 2030 standards. The site offers sweeping countryside views, generous private grounds and direct access to village amenities in Preston, with Hitchin and fast rail links to London within easy reach.
Important practical points: planning is granted but the plot is undeveloped — the purchaser will need to commission construction and factor in build costs and programme. Tenure is currently unknown and should be verified. The historic walled setting may entail additional conservation or planning conditions; buyers should confirm any restrictions before purchase.
This plot suits buyers seeking to deliver a bespoke, future-facing country house who are comfortable managing a substantial new-build project. Average broadband speeds and the rural setting are outweighed by very low crime, excellent mobile signal and proximity to highly regarded schools and commuter routes.
