Disused plot in Camberwell: £1 million for as-yet unbuilt glass pavilion on south London garden site

A disused plot of land in Camberwell is for sale for £495,000 with planning permission to build a five-sided house across two floors.

Striking designs for a glass pavilion show four bedrooms connected to lightwells on a basement floor, with open-plan living spaces facing a rear courtyard at ground level.

If architect Terry Vanner’s designs are realised by a buyer, the house will span 1,252 sq ft — with build costs estimated to be in the region of £550,000.

Proposed designs show a large open-plan living space facing a rear courtyard, with bedrooms on a basement floor (The Modern House / Rightmove)

It wouldn’t be the first such property on Minet Road as a Vanner-designed already home sits on the adjacent plot. The as-yet unbuilt house would have a white render and courtyard planting scheme similar to that of its neighbour.

Proposals include high energy-efficiency — near Passivhaus standards — with a green, sedum roof and underfloor heating powered by solar tubes.

The garden plot, which currently has little more than a shipping container and a climbing frame on it, is for sale through The Modern House.
