Planning - Planning permission has been granted, under revised planning application reference ERE/0924/0030 and dated November 2024, for the erection of a superior, two-storey residential dwelling house with link garage and rear balcony. The site is of a fairly level nature, with wide road frontage, having mains water on site, and mains electricity nearby. However, there is a need to install a new sewage treatment plant.
In our opinion, this is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a large, single residential building plot, with further potential offered for a design-and-build scheme (further details can be obtained form the agents), or potential to reapply for planning permission for further dwellings on site, subject to approvals.
The Property - The existing, proposed, stylish new dwelling has been designed with extensive glazing to the rear to enjoy the views over open countryside, and would comprise: -
To the ground floor double doors open to the reception hall, with cloaks/WC/shower room off, formal lounge, second informal living room, dining room, home office, luxury living dining Kitchen, laundry room, and gym. At ground floor level, the double garage is linked via a boot room, and has stairs providing access to a first floor room, which affords the potential for further accommodation, or dependent relative annex.
The ground floor will extend to circa. 2,917 sq. ft./271 sqm., the first floor will extend to circa. 2,281 sq. ft./212 sqm., and the garage will extend to circa. 473 sq. ft./44 sqm. or thereabouts.
To the first floor, an impressive landing, main bedroom suite with balcony, ensuite dressing room, and ensuite bathroom, bedroom two with ensuite dressing room and ensuite bathroom, bedroom three with ensuite bathroom, bedroom four with ensuite bathroom, bedroom five, and family bathroom.
Outside, the property enjoys a site area of approx. 0.5-acres.
Location - The building plot adjoins, and enjoys views over open countryside in a sought-after rural setting, yet with the convenience of being within easy driving distance of Derby, and a comprehensive range of amenities.
Directions - When leaving Derby city centre by vehicle, proceed northeast towards Oakwood, passing Oakwood on the right-hand side before turning right into Lime Lane for Morley, and after crossing over Morley Road continue straight-on into Derby Road, and the building plot can be found on the left-hand side.
