Description

A corner plot in Prestbury’s Conservation Area is offered with full planning permission for a self-build detached house of approximately 3,000 sq ft. The proposed two-storey design includes a dormered loft and has been prepared by Coombes Everitt, with the plans intended to respond to the surrounding streetscape and nearby Grade II listed Idsall House. The listing notes that the CGI images and finished design may be subject to change to a buyer’s specification. The proposed ground floor has an entrance hall, family snug, cloakroom, study, utility room and an open-plan kitchen and dining area. Pocket doors are shown in the plans to connect the hall, family room and kitchen. A single garage is also included. On the first floor, the plans provide four double bedrooms, each with an en suite. A fifth bedroom and an additional bathroom are proposed at loft level. The corner position is planned to provide off-road parking for up to four cars, an electric vehicle charging point and internal storage. The site is close to Prestbury High Street, local amenities and walking routes, with Cheltenham town centre, schools and transport links also accessible. Planning reference 24/01353/FUL is stated in the particulars, which also give an EPC rating of D.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

62out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £450,000, the asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, making this an attractive acquisition opportunity. The main value-add is the full planning permission for an architect-designed, approximately 3,000 sq ft five-bedroom detached home on a corner plot in Prestbury’s Conservation Area, close to local amenities and countryside.

This is a plot-and-build proposition rather than a conventional renovation: the visible exterior looks orderly, but the photographs show a completed house while the listing describes a proposed self-build. Check the site details, consent, approved drawings and planning status carefully; the overall opportunity is promising, though renovation economics are not established by the available figures.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at an asking price substantially below the local £/sqf benchmark.
  • Build the permitted approximately 3,000 sq ft, five-bedroom architect-designed home on a corner plot in Prestbury’s Conservation Area.
  • Benefit from the established frontage, stone boundary walls and planting, with town amenities and countryside nearby.

Key risks

  • The photographs show a completed house, while the listing describes a plot for a proposed self-build; verify exactly what is included in the sale.
  • Confirm the full planning consent, approved drawings and current status before proceeding.
