Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for those with a vision for renovation and investment. Currently in a derelict state, it stands as a canvas awaiting the right buyer to revive it. The groundwork has been laid, quite literally, as the steel framework is intact and has received building control approval up to the foundation level. This sets the stage for an ambitious investor equipped with construction knowledge to transform the space into something remarkable. The original plans, available through the planning portal under reference 18/504854/FULL, propose an expansive six-bedroom layout, complemented by five generously sized reception areas. With thoughtful reconfiguration, there's potential to incorporate an annex or additional living spaces that cater to modern lifestyles or multi-generational living arrangements. The outdoor area includes a significant garden featuring a large swimming pool, which, while currently in disrepair, could be revitalized as part of the overall renovation plan. The property sits on a spacious quarter-acre plot, offering ample parking at the front and room for landscaping or further development. Due to its current condition—specifically lacking parts of its roof—traditional mortgage routes may not be viable; therefore, cash buyers or those seeking specialized development finance will find this property particularly appealing. Prospective viewers should come prepared for site conditions; sturdy footwear is advisable due to safety concerns in certain areas of the building where access may be restricted. Overall, this property holds substantial investment potential for those ready to take on a project that can ultimately yield significant rewards in an increasingly desirable location.
