Description
This unique property offers a generous 7-acre plot with planning consent for a contemporary, Pavilion-style dwelling. The plot was originally part of the formal gardens surrounding Capel Manor, a country house designed by Thomas Henry Wyatt, and retains several specimen trees and planting from the original pleasure gardens. The site is neighboured by two buildings of great architectural significance, including Capel Manor Courtyard and Capel Manor House. The new dwelling, designed by Hollaway Studio, will be constructed using Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and will feature a ground source heat pump and timber shingles. The property is located in a picturesque setting, surrounded by parkland with topiary, specimen trees, and wild orchids, and is close to the villages of Horsmonden and Goudhurst, which offer a range of amenities including shops, pubs, and schools. The property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and to create a unique and sustainable home.
