Detached house
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial former retirement home situated on an elevated and private mature plot extending to approx. half an acre. Planning permission has been granted (DER/06/16/00744) for change of use from residential care home (use Class 2) to one dwelling house (use Class C3). The property itself has a particularly attractive façade and is constructed of traditional brick beneath a pitched tiled roof and has extensive living accommodation which is gas centrally heated and part double glazed. A recommended internal inspection will reveal an entrance porch/conservatory, impressive entrance hall with staircase to first floor and opening through to a sitting area, formal lounge, separate dining room with wood panelling to the walls, six double guest bedrooms, guest cloakroom, shower room, large kitchen with pantry/store room, inner lobby with door to cellar, further wc and laundry room. There is also a further separate staircase leading to an office room located above guest bedrooms 11 and 12. To the first floor landing there are seven double bedrooms, a useful storage room and two bathrooms.
We feel where bedrooms, 10, 11 and 12 on the ground floor are located and with the office above, would allow itself to be converted into a separate self-contained annexe subject to the usual planning consents.
The charming property is set well back from the road behind a stone built retaining wall with an elevated deep fore-garden with a variety of specimen trees which offer a certain degree of privacy and an adjacent tarmacadam driveway provides ample car standing space. Immediately to the rear there is a beautiful enclosed well-kept garden which is mainly laid to lawn and again is well screened by a mature range of specimen trees.
The property would also allow itself for redevelopment subject to usual planning consents, however we feel it would surely appeal to a large family and could easily be renovated to provide a superior executive detached house occupying an exceedingly popular location close to the City centre.
The sale provides a genuine opportunity for a discerning purchaser looking to acquire a very attractive freehold detached residence which rarely come to the market.
