2 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Bottesford

** REALLY INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ** PLANNING FOR SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF CURRENT PERIOD COTTAGE ** ATTRACTIVE SITE IN REGION OF 0.3 OF AN ACRE ** OFF ROAD PARKING ** CENTRAL VILLAGE LOCATION ** POTENTIAL TO CREATE A FANTASTIC FAMILY HOME ** PLANNING APPROVED ** NO UPWARD CHAIN ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **

A really interesting opportunity to purchase an attached period cottage in need of complete modernisation and refurbishment but benefitting from planning approval to significantly extend the current dwelling, almost doubling it in size to around 2,000 sq.ft., making this a fantastic project for someone wishing to create an individual home within a central village location.

The property is tucked away off the High Street, off an initial shared driveway which, in turn, leads to a substantial plot which lies in the region of 0.3 of an acre, providing a fantastic outdoor space that benefits from a southerly aspect.

Planning approval was given in September 2022 under Application Number 21/01086/FUL with further details available on Melton Borough Council's planning portal. An amendment to the original planning application has allowed for the demolition of the existing cottage with an equivalent replacement to modern standards.

The proposals, if implemented, would create a fantastic, individual home of generous proportions, providing two main receptions in the original part of the cottage but linking through into a new addition which would create a large open plan living kitchen with utility and ground floor cloak room leading off a central hallway. To the first floor the total accommodation would provide four bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms.

If implemented this would be a fantastic property in quite an interesting setting on what would be a generous plot for a central village location.

The current property is in need of a complete program of modernisation and is probably likely to be uninhabitable in it's current state but would make a fantastic blank canvas to create a truly individual home.

The property is offered to the market with no upward chain. Viewing is recommended but we would request that viewings are arranged via our Bingham office and would encourage prospective viewers to contact us, rather than call out to the site, because of the courtyard area shared with the adjacent cottages.
