Planning Permission – Opportunity to Extend

Whilst that consent has now lapsed, this remains a particularly attractive feature for prospective purchasers. It provides an exciting opportunity for a new owner to revisit the plans and adapt or extend the home to suit their individual requirements, whether that be to create additional living space, further bedrooms, a larger kitchen/family area or other accommodation.

This is an important opportunity to consider for anyone looking to create a larger home in this exceptional Lamlash setting.
