Development Opportunity, Land off Ashby lane, Bitteswell, Lutterworth

An excellent opportunity to acquire a building plot with full planning permission for the demolition of an existing outbuilding and the erection of an impressive detached self-build dwelling, with equally impressive Eco-credentials, situated on the edge of the highly regarded village of Bitteswell.

Accommodation - The approved scheme provides for a substantial and thoughtfully designed contemporary home extending to a generous footprint, with well-balanced accommodation ideally suited to modern family living and designed as a Passivhaus build. The plot enjoys a pleasant position along Ashby Lane, with retained frontage hedging and an attractive semi-rural outlook.

Planning permission was granted by Harborough District Council on 28th June 2024 (Ref: 24/00507/FUL), offering purchasers the rare chance to create a bespoke home in a sought-after Leicestershire village.

The approved dwelling has been designed to offer spacious and versatile accommodation, including:

•Impressive open-plan kitchen / dining / living space extending to approximately 73.5 sq. m
•Five bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with dressing room and ensuite
•Three additional bath / shower rooms (including multiple ensuites)
•Separate utility room and plant room
•Study / fifth bedroom providing flexibility for home working
•Well-proportioned hallway and ancillary storage
•Designed as a Passivhaus build, a highly energy-efficient construction standard designed to keep buildings comfortable year-round with very little heating or cooling. It originated in Germany and is now widely used across the UK.
•Landscaping professionally designed by ‘The Leicester Landscaping Company’

The layout has been carefully considered to provide a high-quality family home with a strong emphasis on open-plan living and natural light.

Location - Bitteswell, located just a mile north of Lutterworth, boasts a rich community spirit and a range of local amenities that cater to both families and individuals alike. The village is home to two welcoming public houses, a village hall, and an outstanding primary school, making it an ideal setting for families. For leisure enthusiasts, the local cricket club and the picturesque St Mary’s Church add to the village's appeal.

While Bitteswell offers a quaint village atmosphere, Lutterworth is just a short distance away, providing a wider selection of shops, including a Waitrose, as well as various restaurants, pubs, and hotels, including a traditional coaching inn.
