Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a building plot with the majority of the background work carried out. The plot has detailed planning permission for an impressive five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached chalet bungalow with single garage.

The property extends for 2,000 sq ft (including garage) and enjoys attractive field views to the rear.

The current owners have invested considerable time and thought in enhancing the original planning consent, securing a substantially improved design whilst also progressing the development to an advanced stage. In addition all planning conditions have been discharged (last one underway) and building regulations paid in full with documentation submitted.

The design gives three bedrooms, one with en suite facilities, on the first floor. Two bedrooms with views over the fields to the rear. The property benefits from two ground floor bedrooms with two bathrooms. In addition a utility room and kitchen diner. The lounge overlooks the rear gardens. The oversized single garage has power and water connected offering an exciting opportunity for a home office/annex (subject to planning)

Significant preparatory works have already been undertaken, including the installation of a dropped kerb, relocation of an obstructing electricity pole, hardcore driveway access, Openreach ductwork, water and drainage connections, electricity supply, partial boundary fencing, and all surveys required by the planning process. Full construction drawings are also included.

With the extensive groundwork already completed, the site offers an exceptional opportunity for self-builders and developers alike, enabling construction to commence with minimal delay.

The vendors may also consider a joint venture framework for a builder to complete the project with a profit share based on the percentage of input from each party (contact the office for details)
