This beautiful plot extends to about 1.89 acres with a 75m frontage to Mope Lane. Planning permission was granted under Maldon District Council in 2021 (planning reference 21/00415/FUL) to develop a unique and beautifully situated family home, approached over a rural and softly landscaped track which threads through the plot for some 80m.

This is indeed a rare opportunity to create a sustainable home designed by the award-winning architects Plater Claiborne and is one of the first truly sustainable permissions given by Maldon District Council in accordance with national and local planning policy in respect of biodiversity.

The house is designed part-subterranean, based on an easily navigable split-level plan and in two blocks linked by a glazed entrance. The division between private living and home office working has been carefully considered. The living and working areas are accessed at ground level whilst the private bedroom sleeping accommodation is placed at lower level. There is an opportunity to change the internal configuration to include an indoor swimming pool and/or gym

In all the property will extend to approximately 260 square metres, designed to have the highest possible green credentials, high quality super-structure, super-insulated and triple glazed in order to exceed current building regulation requirements.

Living spaces are orientated to maximise both daylight and natural ventilation levels and most rooms offer more than one aspect. The house has been designed with renewable energy using solar source and ground/air source energy pump.

Outside
The plot offers complete privacy and screening from the lane as the house is set back from the road.

Planning conditions are available from Maldon Council's website or from Savills by request.
