A residential building plot on the edge of an attractive village, with planning consent for a single detached four bedroom dwelling, with parking and garden

Description
This exceptional building plot occupies a prime position on the southern edge of Holme village, and comprises a level site with good road frontage. The proposed dwelling will have a southerly facing main elevation and will be broadly centrally positioned within its garden.

The approved design is for a detached two storey house, with a south facing frontage, set well back from the highway. The house will be approached via a new highway entrance and driveway that will lead to the house, with adequate space for cars to be parked and turned to the south of the house.

The architect has designed a house that is in keeping with the character and materials of the nearby housing. As such, the house will have brick faced elevations under a grey slate roof, with pitched dormer windows to the front elevation.

The Design Statement and approved plans are for a four bedroom house, with a timber canopy over the front door, to create a sense of arrival and define the threshold to the dwelling.

On entering, a double height void will offer a visual connection between the levels and enhance the sense of space. The hallway will have views front to back, with double doors to the sitting room and to the large, open plan dining kitchen, which will span the width of the rear elevation. A utility, cloakroom/WC and home office/play room complete the approved ground floor plans.

At first floor level, there are four generous double bedrooms, two of which are en suite, with family bathroom serving bedrooms three and four.

The design has been thought through to encompass a series of inviting spaces, that are suited to a modern family lifestyle. The Architect’s plans scale to circa 184 square metres (1,920 square feet), or thereabouts according to the Design Statement supporting the planning application.
