Site
*Please note that the size of the plot is approx. 45 acres. 35,998 sq ft is incorrect and this value is due to be updated by the administrators of this portal.* Extending to approximately 45 acres, Kings Beeches occupies an elevated plateau within mature woodland and open grassland between Ascot and Sunningdale. The site offers seclusion, strong landscape character and a highly desirable setting, with opportunities of this scale and quality rarely coming to market in the area.
Planning position
The site benefits from an extant, implemented planning consent for a substantial country house totalling circa 5,582 sq m / 60,084 sq ft, confirmed as lawfully commenced by Certificate of Lawful Development (ref 15/02964/CPD). This consent can be implemented at any stage and provides a powerful fallback position. Critically, a rigorous two-stage pre-application consultation with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, completed in April 2026, has established the following key positions in writing with the Council's Planning Officer: The developable plateau is to be treated as the equivalent of Previously Developed Land A residential scheme comparable in footprint and volume to the extant consent is capable of being assessed positively under NPPF paragraph 154(g) without causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness Affordable housing is likely to be acceptable as a financial commuted sum under the Council's Affordable Housing Delivery SPD (2025) An illustrative masterplan prepared by Metropolis Planning (drawing ref 4021-D2000-rev08) demonstrates a baseline residential capacity of approximately 48 units, comprising 42 apartments across 7 blocks of three storeys and 6 two-storey houses, together with a leisure facility, reinstated ornamental lake and tennis courts within generously landscaped grounds. Total indicative GEA circa 8,615 sq m. The full pre-application correspondence, Council officer responses and complete drawing package are available within the data room. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves on all planning, technical and legal matters. Pre-application advice is informal and non-binding. The vendor reserves the right to conclude the sale by any method and is not obliged to accept the highest or any offer. The property is being sold by Beauchamp Estates on behalf of Strettons acting as Law of Property Act Receiver.
Location
Positioned between Ascot and Sunningdale, the site offers exceptional connectivity alongside one of the country's finest lifestyle catchments. The surrounding area offers world-class golf (Wentworth, Sunningdale, Swinley Forest), racing at Ascot, polo at Coworth Park and Guards Polo Club, Michelin-starred dining at Bray, and outstanding schooling including Eton, Wellington and St Mary's Ascot. The residential market is characterised by strong GDVs, severely constrained supply and deep demand from domestic UHNW and international buyers.
