Thurstons, Binsted, GU34

Planning permission for a superb new detached village house. (Ref: SDNP/21/05291/FUL (South Downs National Park Planning Authority & East Hampshire District Council).

The plot originally formed part of the garden to No.16 Thurstons and provides a rare opportunity to create a new detached house close to the heart of this beautiful Hampshire village.

The creative design allows for a spacious open plan kitchen/dining/family room with bi-fold doors opening out to the rear garden together with a separate lounge, utility room and cloakroom to the ground floor with three bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor.

The planning permission was granted in July 2022. It is important to note that one of the conditions of the planning notice requires the development to begin prior to expiration of three years from the date of the permission. There are twelve conditions in all. Each can be viewed at:
