This property offers a unique opportunity for renovation or investment in one of the most desirable areas of Mells, with approved planning permission for a three- to four-bedroom detached house. The approved project includes thoughtful design features such as a spacious entrance hall, a living room equipped with two sets of French doors that open onto an enclosed garden, and an expansive kitchen/dining area perfect for modern family living. Additional amenities plan a utility room and a convenient downstairs WC. The upper level is designed to include a generously sized master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, a study, and a family bathroom, maximizing both comfort and functionality. This layout presents potential not only for immediate family needs but also future resale value.
