This former stable building presents a unique development opportunity with granted planning permission for conversion into a four-bedroom family home. Nestled on a spacious 5-acre plot on the edge of the Chilterns AONB, this property offers picturesque countryside views and a rare chance for self-build enthusiasts to craft a bespoke residence. The approved plans maintain the existing external walls while introducing internal stud partitions to create functional living spaces, including a central hallway and strategically placed slot windows that ensure natural light and stunning vistas from multiple angles.
The site is accessed via a private drive shared with Sewell Manor, enhancing its secluded ambiance. In addition to the stable, there is an existing grain silo and substantial hardstanding area. The surrounding land consists mainly of paddocks, which are subject to an overage agreement for future building developments—offering additional investment potential should further planning be obtained in the future. Importantly, the barn area is exempt from this agreement, allowing for further residential applications.
Situated in the serene hamlet of Sewell near Dunstable, this location balances rural charm with close proximity to amenities. Residents can enjoy immediate access to Dunstable Downs National Trust land, known for its breathtaking views and extensive walking paths. Commuters will appreciate strong transport links with Leagrave and Cheddington railway stations nearby as well as convenient road access via the M1 motorway.
With reputable schools in the vicinity and additional town facilities just a short distance away, this property not only represents a substantial renovation project but also an opportunity for long-term investment in an appealing area.
