Description

An individual building plot set in land which was at one time part of the grounds of a nearby Victorian house. This special plot (WD/2009/0321/F) is not overlooked by neighbours and offers delightful countryside surroundings. It represents an exciting opportunity for an owner occupier buyer, keen to undertake a full building project. In addition to the house build, the work will also involve the demolition and making good, of a modest existing cottage, tied into a neighbouring old walled garden. Further, to complete the planning conditions, there would be a further requirement to demolish and remove a substantial agricultural building (used formally as a riding school). All of this to be at the purchasers expense. A stable block forms part of the planning consent and there is an opportunity to increase the land holding by separate negotiation. Agent note The planning permission states that the bungalow and outbuildings will have to be demolished and the walled garden made good before works can be started on the new build.
