Description

DUE TO UNPRECEDENTED INTEREST We are NOT taking any more requests to view. *INFORMAL TENDER 21/10/26* Sat in the heart of GREEN BELT a plot of land of around 7.9 acres (3.2 hectares) with a two bedroom detached bungalow requiring total modernisation.

A rare and almost unique opportunity has arisen to purchase a plot of land of 7.9 acres (3.20 hectares) with a dilapidated two bedroom bungalow.

Nestled in Green Belt and situated off the beaten track some way off the A609 Nottingham Road, where a shared lane leads to the homestead The enclosed parcel of land has a central area of grassland flanked by a dense wooded area to three sides.

The single storey dwelling sits to the entrance point to the plot in the North corner. The building offers approximately 1100sqft (102sqm) of internal space which is currently uninhabitable and requires a substantial program of modernisation and improvement including remedial works.

Ample parking is provided in front of the bungalow, with an additional storage area and garage to one side, again, this requires remedial works.

With the illusion of being isolated, Potters Plantation is actually conveniently situated on the edge of the suburban village of Trowell and just off the A609 which links to Nottingham city centre, approximately 5 miles away. The nearby towns of Beeston, Ilkeston and Stapleford offer a good variety of shops and facilities, and schooling can be found nearby in both Wollaton and Bramcote.

Offering enormous potential, there is some scope for re-development of the main dwelling, but interested parties must be aware that it does sit in Green Belt and therefore there are limits around size and what is permitted. We recommend that any intending purchaser makes their own enquiries to the Local Authority.

Coupled with the land, the building could make an ideal sanctuary for those looking to adopt "The Good Life" and this small holding may be ideal.

Due to access constraints and to avoid disturbance of the neighbouring dwellings, viewing is strictly by prior telephone appointment.
