Description

This significant Victorian detached 'Ancillary' building stands as a promising project for those looking to invest or create a bespoke residence. With its generous proportions and preserved period features, the property is ready for a comprehensive overhaul, making it ideal for developers, investors, and prospective homeowners alike. Previously there was permission granted for the construction of a four-bedroom detached home on the site, opening up various redevelopment possibilities; however, this approval has since lapsed, so interested parties should explore potential planning options further. The layout features an inviting porch that leads into a spacious entrance hallway connecting to both an extensive first-floor area and a notably large basement—perfect for conversion. The ground floor showcases four well-sized reception rooms characterized by high ceilings typical of the Victorian style, all of which could benefit from modernization while retaining their historical charm. On the first floor, the expansive landing provides access to three additional generous reception rooms with one spanning across the full width of the property, allowing for flexible reconfiguration according to new designs. With original fireplaces accentuating much of the space and ceilings reaching impressive heights of over 11 feet, this building is bursting with potential. Coupled with an enormous basement that offers additional conversion prospects, it represents a rare opportunity to transform this grand structure into either an exceptional family home or an investment project with considerable upside.
