3 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Willerby

A GREAT EXTENSION OR RE-DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
This double fronted period house stands on a plot of around 0.34 acre (0.28 acre nett) in a prominent position just off The Square. Potential to extend/remodel or for commercial residential re-development (subject to necessary consents).

Introduction - An interesting opportunity exists to acquire a period property in the heart of Willerby, close to Willerby Square. This existing double fronted detached dwelling stands in a site of approximately 0.34 acre, a portion of which allows access to the two properties on Appletree Mews behind. The practical site of house and garden is therefore around 0.28 acre. In the agents opinion there is opportunity to extend/remodel the existing house, although given the size of the site and its road frontage, there is also potential for redevelopment of the site for residential or commercial usages, all of which are subject to appropriate permissions being obtained.

Currently the attractive and spacious double fronted house affords 3 bedrooms, the layout of which is depicted on the attached floorplan. It has a great deal of character and retains many original features. A particular attraction is the stunning central entrance hallway with galleried landing above. There are two separate reception rooms and a large dining kitchen. The accommodation has the benefit of gas fired central heating to radiators and windows are a combination of single glazing and uPVC double glazed units. The property occupies a prominent position on Main Street and has gardens extending to the front and in particular the rear, which enjoys a westerly facing aspect. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of shrubbery and trees within the site. There are two vehicular access points to the property. To the south side of the property, a private driveway (which also gives access to the two properties on Appletree Mews) opens to the block set parking forecourt and attached double garage. There is a further gated entrance to Main Street which provides a driveway/access to the north of the existing house. Within the site are a number of garages/stores/sheds.

Location - The property is situated just off The Square in Willerby on the western side of Main Street. It is a mixed street scene comprising residential dwellings from apartments to detached houses together with office, retail and commercial premises. Double yellow lines extend across the frontage of the property. Willerby is one of the areas most popular residential locations situated to the western side of Hull. The immediate villages of Willerby, Kirk Ella and Anlaby, offer an excellent range of shops, recreational facilities and amenities in addition to well reputed schooling for all ages. Willerby Shopping Park is within walking distance where a number of supermarkets are to be found. The newly refurbished Haltemprice Sports and Community Centre is easily accessible and the property is conveniently placed for access to Hull city centre, the Humber bridge and the nearby towns of Cottingham and Beverley. The area affords an excellent range of bars and restaurants. The property is also located upon a bus route.

Town And Country Planning - In the agents opinion, given the mixed street scene and the size of the site, there is potential for development, whether that be for residential or commercial uses, subject to a satisfactory proposal. Alternatively the existing property, whilst well proportioned, would be ideal for extension/remodelling. Obviously, any such change/development is dependant upon necessary consents being obtained.

The Local Plan governing development in the area is the East Riding Local Plan 2016 which is to be superseded by a Local Plan review which is currently awaiting the planning inspectors report following an examination in public. It is not anticipated that the policies in this area will significantly change from those contained within the 2016 adopted plan.

The property was subject to a planning application (ref 23/01577/PLF) in May 2023 for the "erection of a pair of semi-detached dwellings (to the side of the existing house) with access from Appletree Mews". The application was refused in March 2024 stating: "The constrained nature of the site and the awkward arrangement of the private drive (Appletree Mews) and the proposed parking area to the rear of the plot is such that the development of the site with two dwellings in the manner proposed would appear cramped and overdeveloped.
Furthermore, the narrow width of Appletree Mews for much of its length is such that it would not be possible for two vehicles to pass and the intensification of its use to serve two additional dwellings would have an adverse impact on the safety of users of the private drive and any vehicle having to reverse out of Appletree Mews would affect the safe and free flow of traffic on the public highway (Main Street), to the detriment of highway safety." Although refused against Planning Officer advice, the owners decided not to appeal the decision. They were confident that a re-worked scheme would obtain a planning permission.

Anyone wishing to consider purchasing the property with redevelopment in mind, should therefore take professional advice.
