Plot for sale

A superb opportunity to create a select residential scheme of just six dwellings replacing the carpark and retail sales area of a redundant former garden centre business. The existing site comprises two large glasshouses plus four smaller buildings, a large area previously used for external sales and a substantial carpark to the front of the site, adjacent to the single point of access from the public highway. The dormer bungalow known as Sandyacre' is in the same ownership but does not form part of the proposed sale. The glasshouses will be replaced with open greenery to encourage biodiversity and to open up the fine views to the Northeast towards the Cotswold Escarpment. The new orchards will provide carbon absorbing trees to include a dew pond to catch rainfall from the site and to provide further wildlife habitat. The architectural design concept is to create a traditional farmyard style grouping built of locally made brick and organic roof materials to reflect the character and harmony of this village location. The mix of house types creates a wide variety of plan options with young families and downsizing in mind. The various styles incorporate one 2 bedroom attached bungalow, one 2/3 bedroom attached bungalow, three 3 bedroom detached houses and one 5 bedroom detached house. Green credentials include integrated solar panels and electric car charging points to reduce carbon emissions. The Environmental Agency's flood zone mapping shows that the site lies withing Flood Zone 1 (lowest probability of flooding.) The whole site extends to 4.57 acres in all.
