Description

A rare opportunity to acquire one of a pair of building plots to construct a substantial, bespoke, family home with full planning permission, granted by West Northants Council on 4th July 2024 under reference 2024/1544/FULL. Plot 1 being 397 sq mts / 4,273 sq ft. The plot is accessible, level, well located in the centre of this popular village, with all mains services adjacent.

Roade - Roade lies on the A508 which links Northampton to Milton Keynes and is 2 miles south of junction 15 of the M1, 5 miles south of Northampton, 6 miles north east of Towcester, and 12 miles north of Milton Keynes. The village benefits from a recently opened bypass to the west of the village. Train stations can be found at Northampton and Milton Keynes offering services to London Euston.

The village has a pub and several shops in the High Street including a main post office, gift shop, garage and store, chemist, doctors' surgery, primary and secondary schools.

Sporting activities in the area include golf at Collingtree, Silverstone and Whittlebury Hall, country walks and bridleways at Salcey Forest, watersports at Pitsford Reservoir, indoor skiing and snowboarding at the Snozone, Milton Keynes, and of course motor racing at the world famous Silverstone race circuit.

General Description - Situated in the centre of the well serviced & highly regarded village of Roade is this exciting opportunity to purchase one of a pair of building plots, with full Planning Permission, to construct a substantial, bespoke family home. extending to 397 sq mts / 4,273 sq ft. laid out over three floors, with five / six bedrooms, four bathrooms, large live-in kitchen, various reception rooms, driveway, double garage and gardens.

Community Infrastructure Levy (Cil) - The site is liable for CIL, we understand the charging rate to be £281.18 per sq mt, therefore the potential liability for Plot 1 is £111,628. There is an opportunity to claim a self-build exemption on one, or other, or both plots, requiring the owner to live in the property for a minimum of three years. We recommend that any purchaser should check the information with the local Council, and their own legal / financial advisors, before making a commitment to purchase.

Agents Note - The properties will be served by the construction of a new access road leading from the Hartwell Road, the cost of which will be borne by the two plots proportionally.

Whilst Planning Permission was granted by West Northants Council under reference 2024/1544/FULL we believe that the Planning Department may look favourably at reverting this to one substantial property, (subject to a new Planning application and permission).
