An exciting development/self build opportunity in a lovely rural location in gardens and grounds of 4.8 acres. A partially developed modern country house offering a superb opportunity to create a stunning family home, standing in superb large gardens and grounds with planning permission to extend and develop, and further scope to link the outbuildings to create a magnificent 5300 square foot house (consent would be required).

Accessed by a long private drive off Raddel Lane, the house stands in decent formal gardens, with the majority of the land providing useful paddocks for equestrian or other uses. 

NB The existing vacant house has planning permission to enlarge to circa 2500 square feet, a detached adjacent double garage and a large two storey outbuilding. Attaching both the double garage and large detached outbuilding would make a house of over 5000 square feet although the link element would require further planning consent. The indicative main CGI image is depicting the linked development which would require the further consent. The house requires extensive further spend in addition to the purchase price, but once complete would make a superb family home.
