Description

This spacious detached chalet-style home is set on approximately half an acre in the picturesque village of Harmans Cross, providing a unique opportunity for renovation and development. Originally constructed in the 1920s, the property requires significant refurbishment to realize its full potential. For those looking to invest, planning approval has been granted to demolish the current structure and replace it with three detached homes, offering a compelling option for developers seeking to capitalize on this desirable location. Plans are available for review upon request. The property features five bedrooms alongside various living spaces, including a generous lounge with a Purbeck stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, providing a cozy focal point. The kitchen areas include ample storage and workspace, but will benefit from modern updates to enhance functionality. Located near local conveniences such as shops and the Village Hall, residents have easy access to community services and recreational opportunities offered by the nearby Heritage Swanage Steam Railway. The extensive garden space boasts a sunny southern aspect, making it ideal for outdoor activities or further landscaping endeavors. Additional structures on the property include a garage and an office space with kitchenette facilities. With mains gas heating and all essential utilities connected, the groundwork is already laid for future improvements. In summary, this property not only offers abundant living space but also presents viable investment avenues within a charming village setting. Whether you envision a complete renovation or redevelopment into multiple homes, this site holds significant promise for any discerning buyer or investor.
