An exceptional development opportunity located within East Hertfordshire and lying outside the Green Belt, offering a rare chance for developers to bring forward a scheme in a highly sought after area
The site benefits from its strategic location, access to local amenities and strong transport links, making it a prime candidate for residential or mixed-use development. Providing easy access to London, Cambridge and Stansted Airport.
We believe this scheme offers an excellent opportunity for:
- Residential development, subject to the necessary consents
- Equestrian facility
- Redevelopment by a private individual leveraging the existing buildings and infrastructure
The site comprises four separate titles as follows:
HD491755
Size 8.50 acres
This plot has historically been used for pig rearing and includes several disused buildings contributing a total of 1,120 sq m of agricultural structures
HD493516 - Willow Tree Farm
Size 2.602 acres
Previously a very well-known international training centre with excellent facilities, it is now offered as suitable for top-class competition horses and training centres. Willow Tree Farm also benefits from a large detached house measuring 1100 sq ft, which would suit staff quarters or owner occupiers, as well as a separate brick-built office. Full details of inclusions within this title are found in the attached brochure.
HD239043
Size 25.850 acres
This title includes ancient woodland and grazing land. A mobile home is located on-site, which measures 897 sq ft and consists of three bedrooms, a large kitchen and an en suite bathroom. In accordance with the planning permission, the use is restricted to persons wholly or mainly employed in connection with Contessa riding centre.
The Gables
Size 3.93 acres
This site offers beautiful views across the open countryside. Subject to necessary planning consents, the existing home could be rebuilt and enhanced into a spectacular family residence. In need of modernisation, this home measures 2535 sq ft plus an undercroft garage of 1278 sq ft and comprises four large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and a dining area with two conservatories.
Accompanied by 430 sq m of outbuildings. The Gables grants right of way to Woodlands (HD610904). Continued right of access will need to be provided to Woodlands.
Note from our Vendor
Contessa Riding Centre has been our family home since 1968; at that time, we purchased The Gables and then subsequently secured other land around us that now is all part of the Contessa estate. We have many happy memories of our time in our own little valley and having built up the riding centre into an internationally renowned facility. But all good things must come to an end, and as we decided to downsize the centre in 2022 after having been awarded the Best Riding School in the United Kingdom, it seemed an appropriate time to do this. We would love somebody to be able to take the centre on and let it continue to serve the Equestrian world especially for our local area. We wish whoever does eventually get it all the best, and hope they enjoy it as much as we did, but for us, it will be a very sad day when it comes.
VIEWINGS ARE STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT.
