Description

This 0.39-acre site in Christchurch presents a significant opportunity for redevelopment, boasting full planning permission for a three-storey structure featuring nine two-bedroom apartments. Located just over a mile from Mudeford Quay, the site is ideally situated between the scenic New Forest National Park and the coast, making it an attractive proposition for potential residents. The approved plans outline spacious apartments ranging from 71 to 87 square meters, each designed with open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas. The layouts feature two bedrooms—one with en suite facilities—and at least one bathroom. Several units benefit from private terraces or balconies, enhancing outdoor living space. The development also includes provisions for a bin and cycle store. Previously home to a detached residence, this site enjoys easy access to local amenities including shops, cafes, and restaurants that characterize Christchurch's vibrant town center. With Mudeford Quay and Avon Beach close by, outdoor recreation options abound, while good transport links via Christchurch station provide mainline services to London Waterloo and Southampton. The property's current planning approval facilitates immediate development; however, its size and location also allow for alternative schemes that could be explored subject to further planning permissions. As such, this property offers not only a ready-made project but also the flexibility to tailor future developments in line with market demands. All mains services are accessible on Somerford Road. Interested parties can review all relevant documentation through BCP Council or contact local authorities for further details regarding the site's potential. This is a prime opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on a growing area with strong appeal to both residential buyers and renters.
