A rare build opportunity in the Braughing countryside, this c.4.9-acre plot benefits from full planning permission (East Herts ref: 3/22/0217/FUL) for a striking Paragraph 84 five-bedroom home designed by Hawkes Architecture with landscape proposals by Phil Allen Design. The consented design creates c.7,300 sqft of accommodation (excluding garage) with extensive leisure spaces including an indoor pool, gym, sauna and formal and informal living areas.
The site is highly private and south-facing, with distant open-country views, a proposed wildlife lake, orchards and biodiversity enhancements across the extensive grounds. The plot is roughly 1.5 miles east of Braughing and under 5 miles from Bishop’s Stortford station (direct services to London). Broadband and mobile signals are reported as excellent.
Buyers should note this is a plot-and-build sale: the advertised price excludes the estimated build cost (approx. £2,000,000) and stamp duty is payable only on the plot purchase, producing an estimated saving versus buying a completed house of similar total cost. The existing information states one bathroom in the property record; buyers should rely on the planning documents and architect for the consented internal layout and specification.
This opportunity suits a purchaser who wants to manage a bespoke build or work with the architects to amend approved plans. Full planning documents are available via East Herts Council (ref 3/22/0217/FUL). Site visits are strictly by appointment, and CGI/floorplans are illustrative only.
