The Long Shoot, Nuneaton

For Sale by Public Auction.

Detached refurbishment & development opportunity, competitively priced with planning permission.

An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial three-bedroom detached property situated in an extremely popular and sought-after location. Requiring full refurbishment throughout, the property offers considerable scope for improvement and extension, making it an ideal proposition for developers, investors and owner-occupiers seeking a substantial project.

The existing accommodation provides a generous footprint and currently comprises an entrance hallway, spacious lounge, kitchen/diner, separate dining room and downstairs WC to the ground floor. To the first floor are three bedrooms, one of which benefits from en-suite facilities, together with two bathrooms. Externally, the property enjoys a nicely sized rear garden, while the spacious front garden provides off-road parking.

A significant advantage is the planning permission already granted for the proposed enlargement and alteration of the property. The approved scheme provides for two-storey front and rear extension, alterations to the front elevation, two front gables incorporating a glazed detail and installation of a new pedestrian footpath and gate. The approved works will create a substantial four-bedroom detached house, providing an exciting opportunity to transform the existing property into a much larger and more modern family home.

The combination of the property's substantial footprint, detached position, existing accommodation, generous gardens and planning permission for significant extensions makes this a particularly attractive development opportunity.

The property is offered to the market at a competitive auction guide price and is expected to appeal strongly to developers and investors looking for a project with the ability to add significant value through refurbishment and extension.

Auctioneers Note - The Auctioneer understands that a residential development is proposed on land to the rear of the property, which historically formed part of the subject property.

We understand that the proposal relates to the “Proposed erection of 3 dwellings on the land to the rear of 235 The Long Shoot” and that planning permission has now been granted following an appeal.

Planning references: 037667 and 041723.

Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries and satisfy themselves fully in respect of the proposed development, planning permissions and any potential implications for the subject property.

Auctioneers Note - Prospective purchasers are advised that the water tank within the attic has previously burst, resulting in damage to the ceilings on the right-hand side of the property. Evidence of the resulting damage has been observed within the property.

Buyers are strongly encouraged to undertake their own due diligence and, where considered necessary, obtain independent professional advice and/or reports prior to bidding.
