Description
A Rare Development Opportunity in a Premier Location
Welcome to this distinctive Victorian lodge, an extraordinary property steeped in history and brimming with potential. Located in the heart of Mossley, one of Congleton’s most desirable areas, this unique residence is believed to have served as the gatehouse for the former 19th-century Mossley House. Now, it stands as a rare chance for a discerning buyer to either restore its original charm or take advantage of the full planning permission (Reference No: 24/121C) granted for a complete transformation into a contemporary 4-bedroom luxury detached home.
Property Highlights:
• Prime Location: Nestled on a prestigious residential street in Mossley, with easy access to local amenities and Congleton Railway Station, making commuting effortless.
• Development Potential: Full planning permission is in place to demolish the existing structure and redevelop the site into a stunning 2-storey, architecturally designed residence, offering a blank canvas to create your dream home.
• Generous Plot: Set within extensive mature grounds of approximately 651m² (0.161 acres), offering privacy and ample space for outdoor living and landscaping.
• Internal Accommodation: The Gross Internal Area of the new house (excluding the carport and garage) is 155.9 m2
• Charming Original Features: The existing lodge boasts quirky architectural elements, including stone mullioned windows, exposed beams, and steeply pitched roofs, providing a unique character that could be retained or reimagined in the new design.
Existing Accommodation:
• Ground Floor: The lodge currently features a spacious reception room, ideal for a lounge/dining area, a basic kitchen with views over the garden, an additional reception room, and a discreet W.C.
• First Floor: A split-level landing leads to two attic-style bedrooms with characterful steeply pitched ceilings, accompanied by a separate bathroom.
• Modern Conveniences: The property benefits from gas central heating and mostly PVCu double glazing.
Local Amenities:
• Convenient Lifestyle: Just a short walk from your doorstep, you’ll find a range of shops including a bakery, chemist, hardware store, and more. The newly opened Wonky Pear micro bar adds to the neighborhood’s vibrant atmosphere.
• Family Friendly: The property is within close proximity to the well-regarded Mossley C of E Primary School, as well as before and after school programs and a day nursery.
This is more than just a property; it’s an opportunity to create something truly special. Whether you choose to restore the lodge’s historic charm or build a contemporary masterpiece, this prime-positioned plot offers endless possibilities in a sought-after location.
