A mature plot of about 20 acres benefitting from planning permission for a large, bespoke country house.
A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a magnificent plot of about 20 acres (stls), complete with full planning permission for a striking new residence of around 12,000 sq. ft. (Application No. FULM/MAL/22/01061).
Wickham Grove occupies an established and mature setting, elevated to capture uninterrupted south-facing views across open countryside. Approached via a tree-lined private driveway, the plot enjoys a tranquil and secluded position while remaining conveniently close to Wickham Bishops, with its excellent local amenities, schooling options in both sectors, and superb access to major road and rail connections.
The approved plans grant consent for a contemporary interpretation of a Georgian Square Country House, blending classic symmetry with flexible 21st-century living. Designed to maximise light and take full advantage of the elevated outlook, the property has been carefully considered to achieve eco-efficiency alongside luxurious family living.
The proposed accommodation includes an impressive entrance with sweeping return staircase, a grand drawing room, formal dining room (or cinema), versatile family living spaces and a stunning kitchen/breakfast/day room, complemented by a butler’s pantry, two utility rooms, boot room, dog shower and dedicated office space. Exceptional leisure facilities are also included, with consent for a spa and indoor pool, gym, games room and wine storage. Externally, planning has been secured for a four-bay garage with additional accommodation above (annexe STP). Alternative plans have also been drawn up incorporating underground garaging, an additional outbuilding close to the house and a gate lodge (STP)
The principal bedroom suite is designed to an outstanding specification, offering two dressing rooms, a private sitting room and nursery/ante room. All further bedrooms are en suite across the first floor, with provision for additional space on the third floor if required.
