Description
Surrounded by approximately 18 acres of pristine woodland, wild meadows, streams and garden spaces, the site offers peace, privacy and extraordinary potential. Additional features include a disused swimming pool and tennis court, an array of outbuildings, and direct access to 75 acres of adjacent and private woodland hiking trails.
The property lends itself to a variety of future uses. It could be sensitively restored as a boutique hotel, transformed into a wellness retreat or event venue, or converted into a spectacular private estate (STPP). It is also well-suited to those seeking a lifestyle business with onsite living, or multi-generational residence with income-producing elements.
A positive Pre-App supports a retreat with cabins, apart-hotel and spa; a subsequent submission explores residential schemes including up to 9 new-build homes.
