Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a freehold residential development site in a highly sought-after Hove location, benefitting from implemented planning permission granted under Planning Reference BH2023/01489 for the erection of a contemporary split-level detached dwelling.

The approved scheme comprises a well-designed two-bedroom detached dwelling extending to approximately 758 sq ft (70.5 sq m), together with associated private garden, front terrace and off-street parking.

Significant preliminary works have already been undertaken by the current owner, including site clearance, excavation, foundation works and associated enabling works, representing a material progression of the development.

Building Control inspections were undertaken during the foundation works. Building Control have confirmed that no specific concerns were identified during their inspections regarding the foundations or site levels. The existing foundations remain subject to review and certification by a structural engineer due to the proximity of neighbouring trees, together with verification of drainage works which were installed without inspection.

The proposed accommodation has been designed in accordance with Nationally Described Space Standards (NDSS) and provides for a high-quality residential scheme with dual-aspect accommodation, generous bedroom sizes and private external amenity space.

The generous rear garden may also offer future potential for ancillary accommodation, a garden studio, home office or annex structure, subject to all necessary consents and approvals.

The site is considered suitable for developers, builders, self-build purchasers and owner occupiers seeking a consented residential opportunity within one of Brighton & Hove’s most desirable residential locations.

A comprehensive data room containing planning documentation, Building Control correspondence and supporting information relating to the existing works is available to genuinely interested parties upon request.

Interested parties are advised to satisfy themselves in respect of all planning, structural, Building Control, drainage, legal and technical matters relating to the existing works and proposed development.

The site is situated to the rear of Goldstone Crescent within a well-established and highly sought-after residential area of Hove, close to a range of local amenities, schools, parks and transport connections.

The surrounding area comprises predominantly attractive residential accommodation, with Hove Station, Church Road, George Street and central Brighton all within convenient reach. The A27 and wider South Coast road network are also readily accessible.

The location continues to prove popular with owner occupiers, developers and investors alike, benefiting from strong underlying residential demand and excellent connectivity throughout Brighton & Hove and beyond.

Strictly via prior appointment through Sole Agents Graves Jenkins (t: ).

Offers are invited in excess of £180,000 for the freehold interest with the benefit of planning permission granted under Planning Reference BH2023/01489.

We understand that VAT is not applicable to the purchase price.

Further information, planning documentation and supporting information are available upon request.
