Description
Meadowbank House: an exciting opportunity to create an outstanding contemporary country house with far reaching views.
Mid Sussex District Council has granted planning consent under reference DM/23/1608 for the erection of a stunning five bedroom, four bathroom country house, meticulously designed by Richard Parr Associates and including a gym, garaging with a one bedroom apartment over.
Meadowbank House will be set in about 20.65 acres of pasture land in an elevated position, and arranged around a formal garden. The proposed accommodation and outbuildings are believed to extend to more than 8,000 square feet (approximately).
The proposal of Meadowbank House will pivot around five key
principles:
• Live - Create a multi-generational home for the future which will celebrate indoor-outdoor living with spaces to relax, enjoy, play and entertain with a connection to water & wildlife.
• Setting - Preserve and enhance the immediate setting and wider surroundings. Provide spaces to enjoy the landscape and form connections with the surrounding habitats.
• Quality - Design a 21st century country home of exceptional quality, reflecting the highest standards in architecture. The home will be a legacy project through design for longevity.
• Environmental - Sustainability is central to the design.
• Biodiversity - Preserve habitats, and manage ancient woodland, pasture and river habitats.
The accommodation comprises: entrance hall with lift, formal living room, kitchen/living/dining room, study, gym, utility room, ground floor accessible bedroom with en suite shower, principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom, guest bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms, family bathroom, glass house, garaging with one bedroom annexe over, garden & machinery storage.
