Summary - IMMACULATE THREE-BEDROOM HOUSE AND POTENTIAL BUILDING PLOT

Description - A beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home, occupying a generous corner plot and offering exciting potential for further development (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

The existing house (previously of concrete panel construction) has been completely rebuilt and finished to a high specification throughout. To the rear, there is the added benefit of off-street parking and the property would make an ideal turnkey investment with a potential rental income in the region of £1,750 pcm (£21,000 per annum).

The land to the side and rear of the house measures approximately 327 m² (3,520 ft²) and providing a compelling opportunity for any builders or developers to erect a new house attached to the existing property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Location - Sheppard Road is a quiet residential street in the Fishponds area, located north-east of the city centre. The property benefits from a convenient position close to the amenities of Fishponds Road, including shops, cafés, and services, as well as good public transport links providing access into the city centre and surrounding areas via routes such as the A432, while also being within easy reach of the University of the West of England and various local parks, schools, and community facilities.

Planning History - Two previous planning applications have been submitted for the redevelopment of the land to the side of the existing house as detailed below:

October 2022 - Application for the construction of 2 x 2-bedroom detached houses on the land to the side and rear under Application Number 22/05227/F - REFUSED

December 2023 - Application for the construction of a 3-bedroom detached house on land to the side under Application Number 23/04873/F - WITHDRAWN

A scheme for the erection of a new house attached to the existing property may be looked upon more favourably than the addition of detached dwelling(s), subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
