Our Summary
- Timber in construction the property has stood the test of time over the last 60 years and still has plenty of charm although modernisation would be required
- A summerhouse with kitchenette and toilet give further development potential with the possibility of even splitting the plot to develop two areas
- Again subject to planning agreement
- Planning Statement - I see from the papers that planning consent was granted for the erection of the Colt bungalow under consent reference 5/60/377
- The next stage could be to consider some extensions to both properties
- Any planning application must be determined in accordance with a development plan unless other material considerations indicate an alternative result
- Having regard to all of the above considerations, the planning balance indicates to me that the independent use and creation of a separate dwelling unit around the small property at the front of the site is feasible with perhaps some extensions
- To summarise, handled correctly there is potential to improve the existing housing provision on this site
- Potential to Develop (stpp)
Description
This charming family home, situated in the sought-after Church Road, has been in the same family for over 60 years. The property, a single-storey Colt house with an outbuilding, sits on an acre plot with plenty of opportunities for refurbishment or development, subject to planning agreement. The current dwelling, built in the 1960s, is a timber-framed bungalow with three bedrooms, a central bathroom, and a fitted kitchen. The property has a unique charm, with a central fireplace and original underfloor heating. The plot offers stunning views of the countryside and has a gentle slope, making it perfect for development. Planning permission has been granted for the original bungalow, and there is potential to extend or alter the property, as well as to create a separate dwelling unit or combine both units for a larger house. With careful handling, there is potential to improve and increase the floor area available for residential purposes, making this a unique and exciting opportunity for a family to establish a new home.
