Description

This development opportunity presents a gently sloping plot of approximately 0.95 acres situated on the outskirts of Flamstead village, offering picturesque views over the valley. The property holds lapsed planning consent for the demolition of existing outbuildings and the construction of a single-storey detached bungalow, originally designed as a two-bedroom dwelling with associated parking space. Given that the size of the plot has expanded since the initial consent was granted in November 2020, new owners may have the potential to reapply for planning approval, possibly for a larger residence than previously proposed. Located along Old Watling Street, this site enjoys a rural setting with convenient access to local amenities in Flamstead and nearby towns like Redbourn and Harpenden for broader shopping needs. With various walking routes and green spaces close by, alongside good transport links to London via Harpenden Station, this plot not only offers investment potential but also an attractive lifestyle in an idyllic countryside environment.
