DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILTY
Offering substantial potential is this three bedroom semi-detached property with large garden and rear vehicular access from Lockinge Close.
In our opinion, the plot offers the possibility for development in the form of an additional dwelling on the site of the double garage at the rear. Whilst no consent has been granted or any application submitted, the president set by the immediate neighbour and other development on the road (amongst other factors), leads us to believe a consent for a detached dwelling at the rear would be permitted. We must advise our seller is only looking to accept non-conditional offers; and so buyers are advised to obtain their own planning advice with regards to future possibilities prior to offering. Whilst the property itself requires a fair degree of modernisation and improvement; the property comprises well-laid out, well balanced accommodation which comprises an entrance porch, entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom, utility/sideway and storage area. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. To the rear of the property there is a very large garden with garage and driveway parking. To the front; there is a small lawn. The existing property itself offers scope for extension subject to the relevant planning permissions.
