EXCELLENT REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: After a discussion with our in-house planning department, we understand that there is excellent potential for planning to be granted for either a large single replacement luxury detached bespoke bungalow / chalet bungalow / house, as well as for it to also have a new associated replacement detached annex.
Furthermore, there may also be the possibility of replacing the exiting site with two bespoke bungalows or chalet bungalows, also subject to planning.

DESCRIPTION: Ideal for redevelopment to build a luxury bespoke dwelling with a detached annex, as well as also being a rare opportunity to purchase a detached three-bedroom bungalow also with a separate detached annex, all of which is understood to have an approximate plot size of around a third of an acre (TBV).
PLEASE NOTE: CASH BUYERS ARE MORE SUITED FOR THIS PROPERTY (This is due to the construction being part timber frame, as well as brick, which some mortgage lenders are reluctant to lend on, or lend to a high percentage.
As previously mentioned, there may be a possibility for the site to be redeveloped to have two bespoke chalet bungalows subject to planning, or for a new replacement single main dwelling with a new replacement detached annex.
However, the current accommodation for the existing detached bungalow and separate detached annex are already quite generous and very adaptable. Especially when taking into consideration that the bungalow has four reception rooms, as well as a kitchen breakfast room. Furthermore, the separate detached annex, which presently has an open plan kitchen / dining room, a shower room and large open plan bedroom and sitting room could be utilized as a home office as well as accommodation for a relative or holiday letting unit.
