The Property:
'Furze Cottage' is a detached house that has been within the same family ownership for many years. The property has accommodation over two floors and has plain red brick elevations under a steep pitched tiled roof with inset casement windows. Buyers may look to remodel and improve the property or look at gaining planning for a new dwelling to create a bespoke new build, set in a mature and private plot of half an acre. The property is tucked away from the lane and offers a high degree of privacy. There is a gravel drive that provides ample parking and access to the front of the house. Gardens wrap around the house and sit largely to the south aspect at the rear. The gardens are laid to lawn with flowers and shrubs.
The Location:
Lanham Lane is situated on the western edge of the city and is a quiet leafy lane with properties to just one side and fields to the other. To the top of the lane is a bridleway onto a network of paths through woodland which allow for stunning walks into the surrounding countryside to Crab Wood, Farley Mount and Sparsholt, home to the renowned 'Plough' public house. Within easy access are day to day amenities including Waitrose, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, and other shops on Stoney Lane.

Agent's Note:
Owing to the size of the rear garden and the associated access, we are aware of but have not explored in any detail the potential for development on the plot. The property will therefore be sold with an "overage clause" detailing that should any development (including any change of use) be permitted, to any part of the property, which is not considered ancillary to the current use of the property then an uplift payment of 25% shall be payable. The overage shall run for 25 years from the completion of the sale. Further details of the proposed option terms can be provided on request.
