Rare Opportunity to Build Your Dream Home
An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a parcel of land in the highly sought-after area of Sauncey Wood, Harpenden, benefiting from planning permission for a striking contemporary self-build residence.
Designed by Feneley Studio, the contemporary home responds sensitively to its woodland setting. Set within a natural clearing and positioned to work with the site's topography, the low-profile design minimises visual impact, retains mature trees and established landscaping, and delivers a high-quality architectural solution appropriate to its Green Belt location.
The scheme combines exemplary design with strong environmental credentials, incorporating green roofs, energy-efficient construction and carefully considered landscaping to create a sustainable home of enduring architectural quality.
Application Number: 5/2025/1314
Planning permission was granted in December 2024 for the demolition of the existing buildings and the erection of a self-build dwelling with associated access. A subsequent variation, approved in December 2025, increased the ground and first floor accommodation to create a spacious five-bedroom family home extending to approximately 252sqm.
