An exceptional rural dwelling, approved under Paragraph 84 of the NPPF, recognised for its outstanding architectural quality and thoughtful innovation. The property, to be constructed by the developer, comprises a main residence, a self-contained annexe, an outdoor swimming pool, a solar photovoltaic array and a landscaped pond, all set within a walled garden enclosed by a continuous perimeter wall. Externally, the property will occupy a picturesque plot approaching five acres. This carefully considered design reflects a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, sensitive craftsmanship and the creation of a distinctive sense of place within the rural landscape. The house is designed in a cruciform layout, with each wing serving a distinct purpose: living quarters, bedrooms, an annexe, and storage. The northern arm of the dwelling is intended to accommodate stables and garages. Similarly, the four external spaces are designated for different uses – a kitchen garden, outdoor pool, services area, and a parking court. Two colonnades provide sheltered seating areas, one situated between the kitchen garden and the living space, and the other between the annexe and the pool. The house will be single storey, with an approximate footprint of 580m² (6,243 sq ft). It will feature a sedum and wildflower roof, predominantly 3.7 metres (12 feet 2 inches) in height, rising to a maximum of 4.9 metres (16 feet 1 inch). The dwelling will comprise five bedrooms in total, including one within the attached annexe. A perimeter wall will enclose the house and gardens, constructed using red reclaimed bricks. The inner face of the wall will be built using new brick. The wider site proposals include substantial new tree planting along the boundaries, particularly to the west, where trees will screen the house from Station Road. A new woodland copse is planned along the southern edge, adjacent to existing trees. Additional landscape features include a pond and swale to the west of the house, along the access track, and a bank of photovoltaic panels. The landscape also supports food production, with an orchard at the entrance, fruit bushes along the northern wall of the house, and nut trees planted to the north-east of the site. Agents Note: This unique, design-led Paragraph 84 residence has been recognized for its outstanding quality and innovation, earning approval in open countryside where such development is rarely permitted. This landmark achievement celebrates not only architectural excellence but also a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, context-sensitive design, and rural placemaking.
