a Unique Self-build Opportunity

Hwith, a 3.75-acre plot with formal gardens (below), woodland grounds and walled tennis court, is tucked away in an idyllic corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park with views of the countryside that would make Turner weep. What’s more, it is for sale for offers in the region of £525,000 (michael-cl-hodgson. co.uk). There’s just one problem — the house was demolished almost 100 years ago and is in need of a self-builder up to the task of a rebuild!

The sweeping driveway was once greeted with a Victorian gothic mansion but now leads to the foundations and cellar of a house yet to be built. With planning permission for a Quinlan Terry classically designed country house attached, the plot waits in limbo for new owners. Terry, hailed as one of the greatest architects in the classical tradition in Britain, designed The State Rooms at 10 Downing Street, Brentwood Cathedral and Paternoster Square in London. Plans for the four-bed house even include a six-car garage. 13/12/2018, Ipswich, Suffolk oTLEy HaLL TouR inspiration for your conversion, renovation or period-style selfbuild can be found here at this beautifully maintained medieval house (aBOve).
