SUMMARY A rare opportunity to acquire a secluded building plot with full planning permission for an architect-designed contemporary three/four-bedroom detached dwelling, occupying an idyllic woodland setting between the highly regarded villages of Ashurst Wood and Forest Row. Set within an attractive semi-rural environment and approached via a shared private driveway, the plot enjoys a high degree of privacy whilst remaining conveniently positioned for East Grinstead, Tunbridge Wells and excellent transport links. The approved design has been carefully considered to make the most of the site's sloping topography, creating a striking modern home with generous open-plan living accommodation, extensive glazing and south-facing views across the surrounding landscape. This is an exceptional opportunity for self-builders, developers or purchasers seeking to create a bespoke family home in one of the area's most desirable locations. The approved plans provide for an approximately 172 sq m (1,850 sq ft) Gross Internal Area detached dwelling arranged over two levels, together with a detached single garage, landscaped gardens and private parking. The contemporary design incorporates sustainable principles including photovoltaic panels, a sedum roof, air source heat pump provision and electric vehicle charging, creating an energy-efficient home designed to sit sympathetically within its woodland surroundings.

THE APPROVED ACCOMODATION The planning permission allows for the construction of a striking split-level contemporary residence comprising: • Entrance level with spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area • Separate snug/family room (offering flexibility as a fourth bedroom if required) • Utility room and plant room • Ground floor shower room/WC • Principal bedroom with dressing area and en-suite • Two further double bedrooms • Family bathroom • Separate study/home office • South-facing balcony to the principal living accommodation • South-facing terrace accessed directly from the bedrooms • Detached drive-through single garage with storage • Private landscaped gardens and parking The design has been carefully positioned within the plot to maximise natural light, privacy and far-reaching woodland views whilst retaining many of the site's mature trees and established landscaping.

THE PLOT Occupying a beautifully secluded position, the plot extends to approximately 0.15 hectares (0.37 acres) and forms part of the former grounds of Hounds Cottage. Previously used as a nursery garden, the site contains an existing storage building which is to be demolished as part of the approved scheme. The site benefits from a mature woodland setting with established trees and planting creating an exceptional sense of privacy. Access will be provided via the existing shared driveway serving Hounds Cottage before leading to the approved private driveway and detached garage. The proposal has been carefully designed around the site's mature Monterey Cypress and Oak trees to preserve the character of the landscape.
