The Greenway, Daventry, Northamptonshire, NN11

Description:
An extended three-bedroom family home occupying a sizable plot, with Full Planning Permission granted for the construction of a separate three-bedroom self-build bungalow with off-road parking (Planning Ref: 2024/2922/FULL).

The property is set well back from Greenway, benefiting from a dropped curb and a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking. A generous lawned garden extends to the rear, featuring a patio area and a full-width conservatory.

Conveniently located close to Daventry town centre and a range of local amenities, the property offers scope for improvement, presenting an opportunity to enhance value while providing a comfortable home during the self-build construction of the detached bungalow.

Accommodation within the existing property offers spacious and versatile living areas, including a welcoming entrance hall, a well-proportioned sitting room, and a bright dining room that connects seamlessly to a full-width conservatory overlooking the garden. The well-appointed kitchen provides ample storage and workspace, while a convenient ground-floor cloakroom adds practicality. Upstairs, the property features three bedrooms, a modern family bathroom, and a flexible dressing room/snug, offering additional space for storage or a quiet retreat.

The proposed new-build bungalow will feature an entrance hall accessed from the block-paved parking area, leading to the principal living spaces. The design includes two well-proportioned double bedrooms (one with an en-suite), a third single bedroom, a large open-plan living area incorporating a kitchen, breakfast space, and a rear-facing lounge with direct garden access. A built-in storage cupboard with double doors provides ample space for household essentials.

Proposed New Build Bungalow:
Positioned to the side of the existing property, the proposed three-bedroom detached bungalow benefits from Full Planning Permission (Ref: 2024/2922/FULL) and has been carefully designed to complement its surroundings while offering a modern and efficient living space.

Accessed via a block-paved driveway, the new bungalow will feature a side entrance hall leading to a well-balanced layout with two generously sized double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, and a third single bedroom. The heart of the home is a spacious open-plan living area, incorporating a modern kitchen with breakfast space and a rear-facing lounge with direct access to the garden. A large built-in storage cupboard provides ample household storage.

Externally, the new dwelling will include private garden space, designated off-road parking, and landscaping in line with the approved planning scheme. CIL Self-Build Exemption has been registered for the development, which may provide financial benefits to a qualifying buyer.

This unique self-build opportunity offers excellent potential for multi-generational living, providing a modern and independent home alongside the existing property. With well-designed living spaces and private garden areas, the new bungalow offers flexibility for extended family or long-term accommodation while benefiting from a sought-after location close to local amenities.
