Description
Abbots Lea is a substantial country house believed to originally date from the 1920’s offering huge potential whether to upgrade and remodel the existing L-shaped layout or potentially replace. Planning permission was approved in January 2022 for a magnificent new build with a gross internal area of about 16,300 sq ft (about 1,514 sqm) plus a replacement garden cottage for staff/guests of about 940 sq ft (about 87 sqm). Planning has subsequently lapsed, however renewal may be granted subject to formal resubmission of planning.
The property is set well back within its mature sylvan grounds with an overall plot size approaching 4.75 acres.
