Development Opportunity on Hawthorn Lane

An exciting opportunity to redevelop this 1 acre site by re-modelling and enlarging the existing bungalow and building a substantial new dwelling on the land.


Description

The existing property comprises a semi-rural site of approximately 1 acre (0.4 hectares), currently held on two freehold titles numbers. Part of the site is occupied by a small bungalow made up of a log cabin and linked mobile home, part of which is to be retained as part of one of the redeveloped properties.

The proposal involves redeveloping the entire site by remodelling and enlarging the existing bungalow and building a substantial new dwelling on the land between this and the public highway. The site itself occupies a prime position within Burnham Beeches conservation area and nature reserve.

As mentioned, the existing dwelling will be enlarged and remodelled to create a contemporary single storey home of about 1679 square feet (156 square metres), with five, all en-suite, bedrooms and three reception rooms. There’s also a range of outbuildings which provide garaging and storage. The grounds will extend to just over 0.5 acre (0.22 hectares). We believe the value of this home once completed will be around
£1,350,000 (£804 per square foot). Planning reference: PL/19/3900/SA

The new detached dwelling stands at around 6157 square feet (572 square metres), with five, all en-suite, bedrooms and six reception rooms. The grounds extend to around 0.4 of an acre (0.18 hectares) and will include a double garage. We believe the value of this home once completed to a high specification will be around £2,850,000 (£463 per square foot). Planning reference: 16/00592/CLOPED

This gives a Gross Development Value (GDV) of £4,200,000.

Location

The site is reasonably level and is of an irregular
quadrilateral shape. It is in a semi-rural position on the
edge of the Burnham Beeches Nature Reserve which is
designated as a biological Site of Special Scientific
Interest. It has a frontage to a public highway along its
northern boundary and a frontage to an unmade
private track along the south-eastern side. Beyond this
there is a mobile home park and on the opposite side,
to the north-west, there is an area of
existing housing.

Nearby amenities to the site include the local village of
Farnham Common with its busy parade of shops; fine
dining at Stoke Park and the Cliveden Hotel, the
National Trust estate with access to The River Thames.
There is walking immediately adjacent with Burnham

Hills. Sporting facilities are varied with golf at Burnham
Golf Course and three other local golf clubs. There is
rowing at Dorney, Henley and Maidenhead rowing club.
There are numerous equestrian centres and a polo centre
locally together with racing at Windsor, Ascot and
Newbury.

London Heathrow airport ,10 miles, is directly accessible via the M4. Burnham and Taplow stations, 2 miles, currently provide a direct mainline link to London Paddington and west, towards Reading and beyond.
