The Avenue, Temple Ewell, Dover, CT16

A Rare Opportunity to Build a Contemporary Woodland Retreat Temple Ewell, Dover

Set within approximately 0.95 acres of private, tree-lined landscape, this fully consented plot offers the chance to create a beautifully designed, eco-conscious home with breathtaking views across Temple Ewell Downs. Positioned at the end of The Avenue, with additional access via Park Road, the site benefits from a natural slope and dense boundary vegetation, offering both privacy and a dramatic architectural setting.

The approved scheme inspired by the idea of a clearing in the woods features a two-storey home that blends seamlessly into the topography. The lower ground level, built into the landscape, includes guest accommodation, a multi-use space and plant room, allowing for minimal visual mass and enhanced thermal performance. Above, the main living areas rise into the canopy, opening up to expansive countryside views through full-height glazing.

Design features include:

- Vertical black timber cladding, wildflower roofs and rammed cement walls
- Sloped driveway and carport, with generous off-road parking and turning space
- Passive design principles, solar thermal and PV panels, ground-source heat pump
- Private, west-facing garden aspect framed by mature trees
- Slow worm hibernaculum and TPO-protected trees already accounted for
- Mains drainage and utilities available nearby

This is an exceptional opportunity to create a sustainable, architect-led family home, designed to respond directly to the land and its natural beauty.
