Welcome to Frogmore Woods: 55 acres of timeless English woodland, home to a wwii relic yearning for a breathtaking reinvention. With ample parking for guests or sprawling families, your woodland estate welcomes all with ease. This is no ordinary plot of land; it’s a canvas for the extraordinary, where history, nature, and imagination converge.
At its heart sits a brick-built powerhouse from the early 1940s, originally crafted to energise Honiley Airfield during the RAF’s fighter frenzy. Its walls, up to 13 inches thick, whisper tales of wartime grit, yet beneath the rugged exterior lies a structure primed to transform into a five-bedroom glass-clad sanctuary. Envisage industrial chic fused with sylvan sophistication: Imagine vast expanses of glass with bi-fold doors flinging open to sun-drenched terraces, an external spiral staircase sweeping up to a rooftop terrace for sundowners under the stars, and a sprawling kitchen-diner, the vibrant heart of the home, where unforgettable memories unfold against captivating forest panoramas. With five generous bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, it’s a haven for families of any age or extended kin, complete with a utility, boot room, and pantry for effortless living. Off-grid (if you wish) luxury beckons, with the site thoughtfully cared for in recent years, ideal for coaxing wildlife wonders or simply lounging in leafy indolence. Under Forestry Commission guidelines, the choice is yours: Sculpt a biodiversity haven, a serene escape, or even a forestry venture. The current planning permission allows flexibility: Choose your own styles, colours, bricks and windows to craft a home that’s uniquely yours, subject to planning approval. Inside, tailor the layout to your vision, from sleek minimalist to cosy rustic, subject to planning consent.
Beyond the building, Frogmore Woods unfolds in every direction: Meandering streams, shimmering ponds, and wildflower-strewn meadows. There are even secret glades that invite quiet reflection or playful adventure. Trails wind through the estate, perfect for barefoot wanderings or impromptu wildlife encounters, while starlit nights are unspoiled by urban glare. This versatile retreat shines as a party house for epic gatherings, a tranquil haven for quiet escapes, or a forever home where kids and kin thrive in nature’s embrace. Solar panels atop the historic roof and underfloor heating are eco-conscious touches that honour both the past and the promise of a sustainable future.
This is a property that rewards imagination. Picture grand family breakfasts set against dramatic backdrops, winter evenings cocooned by the hush of ancient trees, or summers spent entertaining friends in an enclave of unparalleled privacy. Should your entrepreneurial spirit ignite, Frogmore Woods could unlock a world of possibilities, think shooting clubs, whimsical wedding tipi setups, dog-walking adventures, or unique woodland ventures (all subject to securing the necessary approvals).
Here, you’re not just buying property, you’re securing a story, a stage, a private Eden. It’s a brownfield jewel in green belt seclusion, planning-ready, and brimming with potential. Frogmore Woods isn’t merely a home; it’s a singular opportunity to craft a life as extraordinary as its setting.
An overage clause will be inserted in the documentation, meaning that a payment of 25% of the increase in value will be due to the seller should a buyer obtain planning permission for any development on the site other than pl/2015/52088/cou.
