Plot + Build Opportunity in Kelsey Lane, Beckenham, Greater London, BR3

A unique opportunity to purchase an exceptional plot and either commission a local contractor to build the house for you or to manage as a self build project. The listed price is based on the cost of the plot plus the estimated build cost.

If the main contractor route is selected, the house would be built under the terms of a fully fixed price, JCT build contract, with all payments made monthly in arrears for work carried out. The contract and build is overseen by a qualified, independent Contract Administrator.

The generous plot has full planning permission for a contemporary, 2 storey dwelling plus 650 square metres of amenity space.

Plastik Architects have designed and gained consent for a stunning, 6-bed dwelling that will total circa 3,659 square feet. There is the additional option for a basement to incorporate a storage room, home cinema, gym and/or expansive wine cellar. The neighbouring property which formed part of the planning application and has a similar design language is currently under construction.

The consented design will deliver a spectacular home which will include multiple living spaces split over different levels with inside/outside living at the core of the design. The buyer will have the option to amend the design and/or internal room layout if required to create their perfect home. This opportunity is incredibly rare and, we believe, the only current option to build a contemporary, fully bespoke family home in central Beckenham.

Outside the design allows for a spacious sun terrace with a BBQ/outdoor kitchen plus west-facing rear garden. At the front of the house a large private driveway plus carport and the option to install a boundary fence if required.

Full details of the permitted plans can be found on the Bromley Council website via planning reference 21/03480/FULL1.
