Integral double garage and private gated entrance
Generous plot within a mature, residential setting
High-quality, sustainable design
Ideal for those seeking a self-build opportunity to create their dream family home
Planning consent has been secured for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of a 2.5-storey detached family home with an integral double garage and timber entrance gates. The approved scheme (architectural drawings 2025–P713–001 to 007) showcases a beautifully balanced design that optimises the site’s potential while complementing the established suburban character of Levylsdene.
Design & Setting
Located on the south side of Levylsdene, the plot sits among an attractive mix of detached properties all benefiting from generous frontages and mature gardens. The approved design responds sensitively to this context, delivering a contemporary-classical home that harmonises with its surroundings while offering a distinctive, high-quality architectural identity.
Key design features include:
• Elegant proportions and traditional detailing, with pitched roofs, quality brickwork and refined fenestration
• Spacious internal layout with a generous garden and ample off-street parking
• Boundary distances and garden depths exceeding local standards, ensuring privacy and light
Sustainability & Environmental Design
The approved scheme is founded on sustainable design principles, incorporating:
• High-performance insulation exceeding Part L standards
• Efficient heating systems and natural ventilation
• Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
• Low-maintenance, locally sourced materials, including fsc-certified timber.
These measures contribute to a low-carbon, energy-efficient home designed for modern family living and long-term value
