Description

** DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY **

An exciting residential development opportunity situated in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Meriden, comprising an existing commercial property with planning permission granted for conversion to four individual residential dwellings.

The property, historically known as Plum Cottage, is a characterful Grade II Listed building currently in commercial use and offers an attractive opportunity for developers and investors seeking a consented residential scheme within this desirable village location.

Planning permission has been granted for the change of use from commercial premises (Use Class E) to create four dwellinghouses (Use Class C3), together with first-floor rear extensions, external alterations, new pitched roofs and associated works. Corresponding Listed Building Consent has also been granted for the proposed conversion and associated internal and external alterations.

The approved scheme has been thoughtfully designed around the existing buildings, seeking to retain their established character whilst creating four distinctive residential properties with individually arranged accommodation.

Externally, the scheme incorporates off-road parking, landscaped external areas, pedestrian access and additional planting, helping to create an attractive residential environment whilst making effective use of the existing site.

Situated on Main Road in the centre of Meriden, the property enjoys a particularly convenient position within this highly regarded village. Meriden provides an attractive village setting whilst remaining well placed for Solihull, Coventry and Birmingham, together with excellent access to the wider Midlands road and motorway network.

The combination of an established character building, desirable village setting and planning permission already secured for four residential dwellings makes 91 Main Road a particularly interesting opportunity for developers and investors.

The property is being offered at a level reflective of the anticipated Gross Development Value (GDV) of the completed scheme.

Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to all planning permissions, Listed Building Consent, conditions, measurements and development costs prior to purchase.

Computer Generated Images (CGIs) are provided for illustrative and indicative purposes only and are intended to give an impression of the proposed development. Whilst the images have been prepared with reference to the architectural drawings and proposed plans, they should not be relied upon as an exact representation of the finished development. External finishes, materials, colours, landscaping, planting, boundaries, parking arrangements, fixtures, fittings and other details shown may vary from those ultimately provided or constructed. Any furniture, vehicles, landscaping and other items shown are illustrative only and are not necessarily included within the sale. Purchasers should rely on the approved planning documentation, architectural drawings, specifications and their own enquiries when considering the development.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.
