Several trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)
No contamination or soil survey carried out; buyer to investigate

This rare freehold parcel of approximately 2.5 acres sits in the Loudwater area of Rickmansworth and offers substantial scope for a purchaser experienced in land projects. The site’s size, private woodland setting and proximity to local amenities make it attractive for a bespoke single residence or a carefully considered redevelopment subject to planning consent.
Important planning constraints and protections apply: the land lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt and a Conservation Area, and a number of trees are covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). Any development will require full enquiries with the local authority; success is not guaranteed. Purchasers should also factor in potential CIL, s106 contributions and the Three Rivers District Council Affordable Housing requirements.
Practical points are straightforward but material. The plot is freehold, has no buildings, and shows low flood risk and low local crime. There has been no contamination or soil survey, nor a detailed boundary survey, so buyers must commission their own investigations. Broadband speeds are reported slow and mobile signal average — relevant for occupier expectations.
For buyers who understand Green Belt and Conservation Area processes, this site represents a strategic holding with countryside character and strong local amenities nearby: excellent schools, parks and rail links into London. For less experienced buyers, the regulatory and survey requirements are significant and should be resolved before committing.
