The Approval:
A rare opportunity to acquire a former Police Station with full planning permission for conversion into a spacious detached dwelling. (Class use 3)
The approved scheme provides for a contemporary family home comprising open-plan living accommodation, three double bedrooms, private parking and landscaped gardens. Requiring only limited external alterations, the scheme presents an attractive opportunity for developers, builders and self-builders alike.
The property also benefits from established vehicular access, off-road parking and private garden areas.
