PLANNING PERMISSION - GRANTED 11 AUGUST 2025
The owners have engaged with the highly regarded Richmond Bell architects to design a superb new country house on the site of an old chicken shed. The natural appeal of the site and bucolic surrounding countryside formed the foundation of design for this exciting new opportunity to build a brand new country house, surrounded by its own land.

In summary, the planning permission provides for the erection of a five bedroom self-build dwelling, garage with ancillary accommodation and storage, swimming pool and pool room, landscaping, parking and associated works. With reference to the computer generated images and floor plans, the dwelling will be two storeys in height and its design comprises a traditional form with contemporary elements, including the use of timber cladding. An area of parking and a garage is proposed within the site and new landscaping (see below) is also proposed, including a formal courtyard garden adjacent to the swimming pool and pool room, with a larger garden beyond which will include a meadow and wildlife pond.

OUTSIDE
The site stands on the northern edge of Farrington, in a glorious rural position with access from the local village road. The site extends to just over 8 acres, in a ring fence, with no public rights of way. The existing barn stands well back from the road and is surrounded by farmland. There is an existing curtilage of trees which the owners have incorporated into a fabulous plan for the immediate gardens and further grounds, designed by renowned garden designer Fi Boyle. Please see the illustration in the details.

The additional land would naturally form excellent amenity to the domestic garden, ideal for traditional post and rail paddock or natural meadowland.
