Land for sale

Fawley, Henley-On-Thames RG9

In the centre of Fawley village, amenity land of about 1.5 acres.

The Land

This amenity plot sits at the heart of Fawley, by the village green and is nestled between Great Wood House and the terrace of 3 cottages to the south west. The land, once part of the garden of neighbouring Great Wood House, was separated from the main house prior to the sale to the current owners. The site is generally flat, benefits from some mature signature trees and views from the back are over open rolling countryside. It is in the aonb but outside of the Fawley Conservation area. There are no TPO’s on the site and vehicular access is directly from Round House Lane. A planning application for a single family dwelling was applied for over 30 years ago but refused. Planning policy evolves constantly, as does pressure on land for housing and calls for new sites. Fawley comes under the control of Buckinghamshire Planning authority and we would ask potential purchasers to explore their own enquiries on this.

Location

Standing in the highly regarded peaceful village, this most attractive area is nestled in the Chiltern Hills, with rolling countryside and mature woodland, all designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The River Thames is nearby and the whole area is ideal for walking, riding, country and river pursuits.

The pretty market town of Henley-on-Thames is a short drive away, famed for its annual Royal Regatta but also hosting fabulous events across the year including The Festival of Music and Arts and the Literary Festival, numerous country shows and events. There are some wonderful country pubs and restaurants locally including the 2 Michelin star Hand & Flowers in nearby Marlow and Hotel Du Vin in Henley. The larger centres of Marlow, Reading and Oxford are close at hand for comprehensive amenities, rail services and easy access to both the M40 and M4 corridors.
