Description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial site in a secluded and highly desirable position on Vale Avenue, Bourne Vale. Set within approximately two acres of private grounds, this property offers exceptional space, privacy, and tranquillity. Planning permission has been granted for an impressive five-bedroom, five-bathroom detached family residence with a garage. The proposed accommodation includes a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area, a separate lounge, and generous bedrooms. The existing property currently occupies the site and benefits from the approved plans that provide for luxurious living spaces. The extensive surrounding land is one of the defining features of this opportunity, offering a superb sense of openness and privacy. Ecological and bat surveys have already been undertaken, enhancing the appeal for potential buyers looking to progress this exciting project. Offered at auction with no upward chain, this is an incredibly rare chance to acquire a substantial site with planning permission in a quiet, private, and highly desirable setting.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial, secluded site with around two acres of grounds, mature trees, a driveway and detached garage/carport. The existing four-bedroom house looks clean and usable but has older finishes; the standout opportunity is the stated planning permission for a five-bedroom replacement home with generous open-plan living. The 54/100 D grade reflects an incomplete value assessment rather than a finding that the guide is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. At auction, the £900,000 figure is a guide price, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.

Key opportunities

  • Progress the stated permission for a five-bedroom, five-bathroom replacement residence, including the planned open-plan kitchen, dining and family space.
  • Make the most of the secluded setting and extensive grounds, with mature trees, lawn, driveway and detached garage/carport as defining site features.
  • The existing four-bedroom house offers a usable starting point for someone considering retention and improvement rather than the approved replacement scheme.

Key risks

  • The £0–£0 works range does not provide a usable budget for this substantial replacement-home project; establish the build scope, costs and programme before committing.
  • Extensive mature trees and wooded sections may require ongoing management and could involve site constraints.
