Our development land team has secured detailed planning permission for three residential properties and the renovation and extension of an existing farmhouse in Sharnford.
The Gables sits on a 1-acre site in the South Leicestershire village and currently comprises a large three-bedroom farmhouse in need of modernisation as well as gardens, disused farmyard, and outbuildings. The building plots and land are available for sale now for offers in the region of £975,000.
Our Assistant Land Agent, Tom Knowles has co-ordinated the planning process. Tom comments: “The Gables is located in the heart of the village and is a classic English farmhouse. This planning application sought to restore the property’s traditional character with a sympathetic renovation and extension while also bringing the disused yard back into productive use by creating additional family homes.
“Working with the landowner, our approved proposal will create a cul-de-sac development in the yard comprising three, three-bedroom homes. Each is designed with contemporary detailing to align with the farmhouse appearance, and benefits from private parking and generous rear gardens,” adds Tom.
Sharnford is a charming rural location with independent village store, primary school, and two public houses yet has excellent transport links to Leicester and Hinckley via the M69 and A5.
Tom continues: “Gaining this consent has required a strong collaborative process and will establish a small new community in the village. The Gables offers an ‘oven ready’ package, including all necessary surveys, so we anticipate a high level of interest from boutique residential developers.”
