Pelham Gate offers a unique opportunity for investors and developers looking to capitalize on a 1.1-acre parcel of land that comes with full planning consent for a spacious bespoke residence. The approved plans envision a 4,617 sq ft home, establishing a framework that underscores the potential of this site. However, the property’s versatility extends beyond the current design; buyers have the option to modify or resubmit proposals to East Herts Council for alternative layouts and styles.
The history of this plot, formerly known as The Chalk Pit, adds an interesting layer to its appeal. While the initial application faced refusal, its subsequent appeal led to successful approval with specific conditions, which speaks to the development's viability in a sought-after location.
A notable feature of the property is the existing derelict barn at one end of the lot. It has been granted permission for non-agricultural use, opening possibilities for conversion into functional spaces such as a home gym, office, or workshop—subject to change of use applications.
Situated in Furneux Pelham, this charming East Hertfordshire village is strategically located between Bishop's Stortford, Ware, and Buntingford. The community is well-established and has access to local amenities including the Brewery Tap pub—which not only serves food but also has introduced a small village shop post-lockdown—as well as a highly rated primary school that feeds into secondary schools in Bishop’s Stortford.
For commuters, the proximity to Bishop's Stortford mainline station offers quick access to London Liverpool Street in under 45 minutes. Road travel is equally convenient with the M11 and Stansted Airport just 10 miles away and easy access to the A10. The village environment also promotes an active lifestyle with numerous walking trails and bridleways nearby—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts—and there is even a well-known riding school within reach.
This property stands out not only for its development potential but also for its attractive setting and community resources, making it an enticing proposition for those looking to create something special in East Hertfordshire.
