Friday Grove, Brookmans Park

The green belt land south of Brookmans Park, which has been at the centre of a planning battle for more than four years, is up for auction.

Friday Grove, or the 20-Acre Field, as it is also known, is being offered to the highest bidder as a ‘freehold site with development potential (subject to necessary consents).'

The price is put at £900,000+.

The information on the Drivers and Norris auction site describes Friday Grove, Hawkshead Road, Brookmans Park as…

“A rural site extending to approximately 21 acres with a large frontage to Hawkshead Road situated on the outskirts of the prestigious village of Brookmans Park with mainline station (Moorgate Line) and a good variety of local shops, restaurants and both JMI and senior schools are close by.

“The vendor informs us that he has previously applied for planning consent to contruct an eco-friendly detached house extending to approximately 16,000 sq ft which was refused on appeal despite planning officer recommendation. “

The site says the plot is offered freehold with full vacant possession upon completion.

The auction of Friday Grove is set to take place at 11am on Tuesday 16 October at the Emirates Stadium.

Viewing of Friday Grove prior to the auction is by appointment with the auctioneers. More details on the Drivers and Norris site.
