Set within about 1.2 acres (STLS) of open farmland on the edge of Langley Upper Green, this west-facing plot offers uninterrupted countryside views and established rear landscaping. Full planning permission (UTT/24/2788FUL) has been granted for a single-storey, contemporary eco home of nearly 3,500 sq ft (including garage), designed with four en-suite bedrooms and generous living spaces.
The consented scheme prioritises low-carbon living and single-level convenience—an attractive proposition for families seeking long-term comfort without sacrificing modern design. A double garage, utility and open-plan kitchen/living/dining area are included in the approved plans, giving a clear head-start to build and reduce planning risk.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, no flood risk, fast broadband and very low local crime. Transport links to London are accessible via nearby stations at Audley End and Newport, with Saffron Walden around eight miles away for shopping, schools and amenities.
Prospective buyers should be aware this is a bare plot requiring full construction and associated costs, contractor procurement and discharging of any pre-commencement planning conditions. Mobile signal is average and council tax banding is not yet determined. The location’s rural character means local services are limited compared with urban centres.
