Doddridge Road, Market Harborough

Completely unique to the market and being offered through Adams & Jones with no upwards sale chain is 'Cobblestones', Market Harborough's historic former police station, presently a mid 19th century detached house with additional stable/coach house to the rear with fantastic potential for conversion to annex style accommodation. The house and coach house at the rear both require modernisation and redevelopment, the coach house having had historic planning permission to be turned into an additional annex style dwelling where works have begun in the past to keep the permission valid. As such this property offers huge development potential with a variety of uses, all sat within a generous plot and located within a stones throw of Market Harborough's fantastic town centre amenities.

Accommodation to the main house currently comprises entrance porch, hallway, ground floor WC, two receptions, kitchen, pantry, utility, outside WC, garden store, landing, four bedrooms, master en-suite shower room and main bathroom. The coach house sits at the rear of the plot and currently offers a stable/garage, tack room, additional ground floor room which was formally the police station's carriage room and three rooms to the first floor, two of which having formally formed the hay loft and one of which was historically the stray dog room. Outside the property is located on a sizeable plot with cobble stoned driveway and courtyard providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles and there is also a lawned rear garden area enclosed by brick wall and iron railings.

Coach House Accommodation - Originally the police station's stables and carriage rooms with hay loft over. We understand the 'coach house' was granted historic planning approval circa the late 1980's to convert the coach house into annex style additional dwelling to comprise garage, kitchen, lounge/diner, two bedrooms and bathroom. Although the planning permission has lapsed, a fair proportion of the conversion work was completed and it is believed that this renders the conversion still valid. Should the buyer wish to complete this conversion they must verify these details via a solicitor before proceeding into a purchase.
