Land sale could bring 27 homes to Nottinghamshire village

Easthorpe Lodge

A house and its surrounding land in the village of Easthorpe on the border of Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire is available to buy freehold through Mather Jamie, with potential to redevelop some or all of the land into dozens of new homes.

Easthorpe Lodge on Green Lane is a non-listed, eight bedroom house, with three large reception rooms, a garage, store rooms and a large garden. It is one of two lots available for sale by informal tender through Mather Jamie, with the other lot incorporating paddock land and other premises surrounding the lodge. This land, which extends in all to 6.25 acres (2.52 hectares), has outline planning approval for 27 homes from the local authority.

Gary Kirk, associate director of Mather Jamie, said, “Easthorpe Lodge and its surrounding grounds offer a range of different options to potential buyers. The top paddock has outline planning permission for 18 new homes, while land adjacent to the lodge, including a tennis court, swimming pool and former stables, has outline planning approval for a further nine.

“The house itself could be updated and would make a splendid residence for a large family, or perhaps alternatively, with further planning permission from the local council, the land might be used to build more homes, as part of a new development for the area.”

Pre-application advice has also been sought from Melton Borough Council regarding the demolition of Easthorpe Lodge, which does not lie within the village’s Conservation Area, with the intention of replacing it with new build development.
