Building plot with full planning in exceptional village location
We are delighted to offer this exceptional plot of land for sale, complete with full planning permission for a sleek, architect-designed home created specifically with the modern downsizer in mind. Thoughtfully planned to maximise light, space and connection to the outdoors, the proposed design features an impressive open-plan layout and a striking glass rear elevation to make the most of the private garden and sunny south-facing outlook.
Approached via a charming bridge that crosses a gentle stream, the site enjoys a picturesque entrance and a truly unique setting.
Set to become a standout residence within the highly sought-after village of Mawdesley, the new home will occupy a prominent corner position on Hall Lane, just a short stroll from the village centre and local school. Plots offering this level of lifestyle appeal, with such attractive surroundings and full planning permission already in place, rarely come to the open market. Early viewing is strongly encouraged for those seeking a premium self-build opportunity.
Planning Permission Overview
Erection of one dwelling (following demolition of outbuilding)
The approved design showcases contemporary grey composite cladding set above a rendered base, complemented by a slate roof—chosen to reflect the site’s transitional position between village and rural surroundings. A distinctive split-gable feature breaks the elevations into elegant, modern forms while remaining sympathetic to the varied architectural styles found locally. With a wide mix of materials, heights and designs in the surrounding area, the proposed dwelling will sit comfortably and harmoniously within its setting.
Access & Parking
Access to the site is shared via the existing bridge off Hall Lane, serving the plot together with two neighbouring properties. The approved plans include three designated parking spaces, positioned where the current outbuilding stands. A stepped or ramped (1:12 gradient) pathway will lead from the parking area to the front entrance.
For construction purposes, deliveries and vehicles will access the plot via an established gravel track to the east—already used to reach equestrian land associated with the existing house—ensuring minimal disruption to the main bridge access.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully positioned plot with an exceptional modern home ready to be built. Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting and potential on offer.
