Description
Ash House offers an excellent redevelopment opportunity, comprising a substantial freehold building set within a generous and well-positioned plot in Highbridge. The property extends to approximately 3,027 sq ft and benefits from planning consent (Ref: 11/25/00118) for conversion into a 6-bedroom dwelling with an integrated annexe, providing a clear and deliverable scheme. The property is not listed, offering buyers greater flexibility when considering alterations or redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents).
A recent feasibility study also outlines alternative options, including conversion into two dwellings (a 4-bedroom house and a 2-bedroom unit), or a more comprehensive scheme of three 2-bedroom units alongside the construction of two 3-bedroom new build houses within the grounds, subject to the necessary consents. There is further potential for HMO-style accommodation (approximately 5–8 units), again subject to the relevant permissions.
Externally, the property benefits from private and well-presented manicured grounds, providing a professional setting for staff and visiting clients. There is also excellent private on-site parking, with space for approximately six to eight vehicles, delivering valuable off-street parking for both employees and visitors.
Highbridge benefits from local amenities including shops, medical centre, pharmacies, pubs and a community hall with the bustling seaside town of Burnham-on-Sea also within reach which offers further facilities close by.
