Description

This property presents a compelling opportunity for redevelopment, having already obtained planning consent for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a new 2.5-storey detached family residence. The approved architectural designs focus on creating a modern yet timeless home, complete with an integral double garage and stylish timber entrance gates, all while enhancing the existing suburban landscape of Levylsdene. Situated in a desirable area surrounded by other well-appointed detached homes, this plot offers generous proportions with substantial frontages and mature gardens. The proposed build aims to blend contemporary aesthetics with classical elements, boasting features such as pitched roofs, quality brickwork, and well-considered fenestration that contribute to its appeal. The internal layout is designed for optimal spaciousness, complemented by a sizeable garden and sufficient off-street parking to accommodate family needs. Furthermore, the distance between boundaries and garden depth surpass local requirements for privacy and daylight. With sustainability at its core, the design includes high-performance insulation that exceeds current regulatory standards along with efficient heating systems and natural ventilation strategies. The incorporation of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) alongside low-maintenance materials ensures long-term viability while supporting eco-friendly practices. This property not only embodies potential for immediate development but also represents an investment in a low-carbon lifestyle tailored for contemporary family dynamics, ultimately adding long-term value in a sought-after location.
