A unique former Victorian water tower offering enormous potential on a substantial corner plot – vacant with no onward chain.

Meadow View Cottage is a truly individual three-bedroom semi-detached home, originally constructed as a Victorian water tower serving the former Rochford Nurseries and subsequently converted into a pair of distinctive residences during the 1980s.

Vacant and offered with no onward chain, the property now requires complete updating and modernisation throughout. However, it represents a rare opportunity for a buyer to create an exceptional character home, with considerable scope to remodel and extend the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permission.

The ground-floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch, dining room, separate reception room with exposed brick fireplace, kitchen and a substantial conservatory overlooking the garden and a convenient WC. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom.

One of the property’s greatest features is its extensive corner plot, which provides an excellent degree of outside space. The size and configuration of the grounds may offer scope for a dramatic extension or potentially the creation of a separate building plot, subject in all cases to planning permission and the relevant consents.

There is also ample driveway parking together with a large detached double garage.

The property shares a septic tank with the adjoining home, which has been completely updated.

With its fascinating history, distinctive Victorian architecture and significant development potential, Meadow View Cottage is an increasingly rare opportunity for buyers seeking a substantial renovation project with the ability to create something genuinely special.
