A rare opportunity to acquire a development plot extending to circa 1.34 acres with Planning Permission approved under Paragraph 80 to create a uniquely designed, sustainable home with leisure facilities, set within a former walled kitchen garden which once served Rangemore Hall, situated within a superb rural setting. Planning Permission has been approved under Paragraph 80 for a beautifully designed earth home, with sustainability at the forefront of the design. The history of the site has been much considered by the award-winning architects, Allan Joyce Architects; once a productive walled kitchen garden serving Rangemore Hall, the home will feature extensive glazing to the front elevations to reflect the appearance of a traditional glass house, and to act as sunspaces to provide passive solar heating. The house and the suggested materials have been designed to allow the gardens to once again become the main focus, and the layout of the internal spaces provides close connections to the grounds themselves. The Walled Garden House is designed to perform as a Passivhaus, with very high levels of insulation and excellent air tightness performance. Background ventilation will be provided via a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery to reuse heat produced in the house with passive stack ventilation through the lantern and sunspaces to prevent overheating. There will also be rainwater harvesting from the roofs for reuse in the garden irrigation and within the house. During the current owners tenure, significant works have been carried out to connect services to the site to include electricity and water, along with a septic tank to service the property.
