Description
Opportunities like this seldom arise. Set within an exclusive and private enclave, this exceptional 0.25-acre plot on the highly sought-after North Hall Drive offers the chance to create a bespoke residence of timeless elegance and architectural distinction.
Recently granted full planning consent (Ref: 24/01105/VOC, approved 23rd May 2025 by Melton Borough Council), the site has been masterfully envisioned by the international award-winning Rodney Black Architects. Their design is a beautifully proportioned classical villa, blending refined sophistication with contemporary living, and offering over 2,400 sq ft of luxurious internal space.
The proposed layout includes:
• A stunning, light-filled open-plan kitchen/living/dining space with elegant French doors opening onto a private terrace
• Two sumptuous ground-floor bedroom suites, including a grand principal suite with walk-through dressing room and luxury bathroom
• A dedicated home office, utility, and cloakroom, all thoughtfully positioned for both function and style
• A striking spiral staircase and lift leading to the impressive lower ground floor, which forms a unique entrance with boot room, guest cloakroom, and two additional versatile rooms – ideal for a gym, wine cellar, or studio.
The site itself boasts mature landscaping and natural topography, perfectly complementing the villa’s tiered layout and enhancing its architectural drama. A sweeping private driveway provides elegant access from North Hall Drive, adding to the grandeur of arrival.
Further adding to the appeal is previously approved and lawfully commenced planning (Ref: 220/349/FUL) for a detached double garage (6m x 6m).
There is also an alternative, larger contemporary design by local architect Nils Feldmann totalling 6,130 sq ft (Ref: 17/01139/FUL) previously approved and lawfully commenced – offering flexibility to the plot's development.
This is a signature opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind home in an idyllic and discreet location – a true sanctuary of space, style, and exclusivity.
