Description
A rare opportunity to create an extraordinary 5,500 sq ft Paragraph 84 country home in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside. Designed to meet the exacting standards of Paragraph 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework, this exceptional residence offers the chance to deliver a truly iconic home that is both architecturally outstanding and deeply connected to its rural setting.
Extending to approximately 5,500 sq ft, the proposed home provides the perfect canvas for luxurious modern living, with expansive open-plan spaces, generous bedroom suites, dramatic glazing, and seamless integration between the interior and the surrounding landscape.
What sets this opportunity apart is its confirmed ability to connect directly to the national electricity grid—a highly unusual and valuable advantage for a rural Paragraph 84 development. This significantly reduces infrastructure complexity and cost while providing dependable power for modern living, including the integration of renewable technologies, electric vehicle charging, and other high-demand systems.
Set within an idyllic Leicestershire location, the property combines complete privacy with excellent accessibility, offering the best of country living without compromising on convenience.
Paragraph 84 opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally scarce. Combining visionary architecture, a sought-after rural setting, and the rare benefit of a direct grid connection, this represents a unique chance to create one of the county’s most remarkable contemporary homes.
The site extends to circa 15 acres, comprising around 5 acres of residential curtilage and 10 acres of paddock/rewilding land. The scheme places strong emphasis on sustainability and biodiversity, with proposals including wildflower meadows, woodland planting, and a landscape-led design that integrates the dwelling into its surroundings.
Located off Bumblebee Lane near Sharnford which lies in close proximity to Wigston Parva, the property enjoys a peaceful yet accessible position, with excellent road links via the A5 and M1. Rugby station is approximately 25 minutes away, offering direct services to London Euston in under an hour, while Birmingham is within a 40-minute journey.
Planning permission (ref: 20/1461/FUL, granted March 2024) represents a "Grand Designs"-style opportunity to create a landmark, sustainable home in a highly attractive rural setting.
