Planning Opportunities
This wonderful site has excellent development potential, as planning has been granted to convert the entire site into a number of separate dwellings:
• Main house has planning consent for conversion into 2 semi-detached homes; One 4 bedroom house and one 2 bedroom house.
• The Granary has planning consent to extend as well as separating it from the main barn into a detached 3 bedroom house.
• There is consent to convert the main office barn into two 3 bedroom dwellings (this consent is dependent upon the conversion of Bungalow 3-4 into offices, prior to the commencement of this conversion).
• Subject to planning: There are 2 substantial timber framed and clad bungalows, which were originally 2 pairs of semi-detached properties. These properties require extensive remodeling/rebuilding, so the Local Authority may look favourably at converting these back into 4 semi-detached homes or potentially into a single larger property.
Accessibility, efficiency, off-grid capacity and self-sufficiency:
• Extensive range of solar panelling to make running the site exceptionally cost-efficient. Phase 3 electrics and 15Kw Generator.
• CCTV, fibre to property and rain harvester system.
• 3 bay open-fronted barn plus parking for at least 15 vehicles and 2 rapid charge electric car charging points.
• Sited on the Surrey Cycle Way and so direct cycle routes to Gatwick, with trains to London in 30 mins. and flights to Europe in a few hours.
