Description

IN SUMMARY
NO CHAIN! ****** BUILDING PLOT WITH PLANNING PERMISSION ****** This is a UNIQUE LISTING offering the potential for a new purchaser to EITHER BUILD A SEPARATE DWELLING ATTACHED to the existing cottage OR a DOUBLE STOREY EXTENSION to the cottage if purchased in conjunction with the cottage which is also currently on the market for sale. Depending on preference - both options have full planning permission granted with reference numbers DC/24/03139 or DC/25/03709. With planning having already been obtained this would be a straightforward project for a new owner to create a small yet bespoke newly build attached cottage whether that be for full time habitation or as a rental investment. The cottage allows for PRIVATE GARDENS to the rear as well as OFF ROAD PARKING to the front. The option exists to purchase both the plot and adjacent cottage together and then extend the house which would offer bags of potential for a spacious family home with private gardens and plenty of parking if that option is preferred. Various imagery for the proposed development can be found within the listing.

SETTING THE SCENE
Approached via the frontage you will find a cleared driveway with potential parking for two vehicles in front of the cottage to be built.

THE GRAND TOUR
See plans included for the proposed layouts of the cottage to be built. Planning is in place for the erection of a two bedroom cottage.

AGENTS NOTES
Buyers are advised planning permission has been approved for a double storey side extension with single storey rear extension (DC/24/03139) as well as separate planning for new adjoining cottage (DC/25/03709). Buyers would therefore have the choice of which option they pursue if any.

Garden

The rear provides a blank canvas for a new owner to landscape depending on what the plan of action is with proposed development. There is plenty of space to create a peaceful and enclosed space with an open boundary to the side currently.
