The plot
Land at Prospect Villa offers an individual development opportunity with planning permission for a new detached two storey home in an established setting off Malvern Road. Extending to approximately 262 sq m, the plot occupies the eastern part of the existing curtilage close to the Sherwood Lane turning head and currently comprises gravel, hardstanding, a single storey garage proposed for demolition and a timber garden structure, enclosed by mature hedging, planting and fencing.

The proposed development
Planning permission has been granted for a detached two storey home with a traditional pitched roof, covered entrance porch and smaller single storey projection. The ground floor provides an entrance lobby, central hall, cloakroom, open plan kitchen and dining area and separate living space with glazed double doors opening onto the patio and garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite, alongside a separate bathroom.

There is also potential to create a third bedroom within the eaves under permitted development once the approved development has been completed and signed off, with the roof ridge height designed to accommodate the additional bedroom. The proposals include an air source heat pump and provision for low carbon or renewable energy generation. The approved exterior combines self coloured render, facing brick and Eternit shiplap cladding beneath plain clay roof tiles, complemented by composite windows, opaque glazing, UPVC bargeboards, zinc rainwater goods and brick detailing. The approved plans provide vehicular access from the Sherwood Lane turning head and two tandem parking spaces with permeable block paving.

Agent Note
Please note that the vendor of this land is a relative of an employee of Andrew Grant.

A disused right of way lies along the northern side of the wider Prospect Villa site. The approved arrangements provide for the relevant section to be formally stopped, removing the disused route as part of the development scheme. Purchasers should refer to the supporting legal and planning documentation for full details of this process.
