Description

This spacious detached character property presents a unique investment opportunity in the vibrant community of Seaton. Perched in an elevated position, the home offers sweeping views across the valley and towards the coastline, enhancing its appeal as a potential renovation project. The property sits on a substantial plot measuring approximately 0.33 acres, providing ample outdoor space and existing parking for several vehicles accessible from Townsend Avenue. While the house requires significant updating, it features two generous reception rooms along with an open plan kitchen/breakfast area at the rear, making it ideal for modern living after renovation. On the first floor, you will find two sizable double bedrooms complemented by two smaller rooms and a family bathroom. The layout offers flexibility for reconfiguration to suit various needs, whether for personal use or rental potential. One of the most compelling aspects of this property is the outline planning consent granted for five new dwellings, allowing for development opportunities that could yield significant returns. The consent (reference 22/1386/OUT) was approved on February 10, 2023, highlighting its viability as a long-term investment. This aspect provides a strategic angle for developers or investors looking to capitalize on the growing demand in this desirable area. Additionally, basic services are available nearby; however, interested parties are encouraged to verify availability independently. Overall, this property not only offers immediate renovation possibilities but also paves the way for future development, making it a rare find in Seaton’s real estate market.
