Sunnymead, Oakhill, Radstock, Somerset, BA3

An exciting opportunity to purchase a well-presented three bedroom house, situated within the sought-after village of Oakhill. This superb property includes driveway parking and a well-tended south-facing garden. In addition, there is an adjoining building plot with planning permission for an attached three bedroom new-build dwelling. Available with no onward chain. EPC rating D.


7 Sunnymead has recently undergone a scheme of improvement to alter the previous build type (PRC Cornish unit – ‘non-standard construction’) to a modern and recognised ‘standard construction’. The vendors have obtained the necessary PRC Certificate after completion of the works.

A door to the front of the property opens into a hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation. The sitting room is located at the front of the house and includes a large double-glazed window and a central brick fireplace with an open fire. The kitchen/dining room has been recently refitted and offers a range of matching floor and wall units in a contemporary style. With plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, the kitchen includes a large built-in cupboard under the stairs and a set of double-glazed patio doors opening out to the rear garden. Integrated within the kitchen is an electric oven, hob and extractor hood as well as space for a freestanding washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The Vaillant gas-fired boiler for the central heating system is also located in the kitchen.

On the first floor, this light and airy home includes three bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom with a heated towel rail. In addition, the master bedroom has the advantage of a modern en-suite shower room.

OUTSIDE
The property includes well-tended gardens to the front and rear, both of which are laid to lawn and slate chippings and are enclosed by attractive featheredge fencing. The rear garden faces south and enjoys lots of sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. To the side, there is off-road parking available for two vehicles, with a rear gated pedestrian access into the garden.

THE BUILDING PLOT
The vendors obtained outline planning permission in 2020 for an attached dwelling (planning reference number 2020/0679/OTS) with Reserved Matters then approved in 2021 (planning reference number 2021/0837/REM). Foundations have already been laid, and the plot provides an excellent opportunity for a builder/developer or as an option for a self-build home. The current planning grants permission for a three bedroom attached new home with a kitchen/dining room, master en-suite, a south-facing garden and two parking spaces.

RENTAL YIELD
Should the building plot be of interest to a builder, developer or property investor, we would anticipate the existing dwelling achieving an annual rental income of circa. £15,000 (5%+ rental yield).
