Description
This is a rather unique opportunity to purchase an existing house, which now requires extensive modernisation, but also has the benefit of planning permission to replace the house with a much larger property of a similar design, but to include an additional floor, renewable energy supply and garaging.
At present, the house comprises a hallway, utility room, kitchen, sitting room and a dining room, four bedrooms, en-suite and bathroom.
The property presents brick and weatherboarded and tile hung elevations beneath a tiled roof. The house now needs extensive modernisation and refurbishment both inside and out.
The planning permission, under ref WD/2022/provides an option to knock down and rebuild Flower Place with a house of approximately 2,800 sq.ft, in a similar style and moving the house slightly backwards in its plot, and adding a lower ground floor area, as well as increasing the over all footprint and adding a sensational upper ground floor raised terrace and entertaining area, and an attached garage.
The plot totals around 1/3 of an acre, with extensive views out across the Rother Valley beyond, and direct access to footpaths, plus easy access to the centre of the Village.
Full planning documentation is available upon request, and three tenders received by the owners will also be made available. Build costs, for a top end build to include a lift, were tendered between £850,000 and £900,000. The estimated end value will be circa £1,750,000.
Location:
