0.44 acre mature plot, rare redevelopment opportunity
This detached chalet-style house sits on a substantial and mature 0.44 acre plot in a quiet cul-de-sac off Nags Head Lane. The existing dwelling offers 1,802 sq ft of accommodation and a large rear pole barn of 1,322 sq ft, providing immediate storage or workshop potential while you plan change of use or replacement. All mains services are connected.
The site presents a genuine redevelopment or replacement opportunity subject to planning (STP). There is no overage or clawback clause, so the incoming buyer can shape proposals from scratch. The plot’s size and setting suit a modern single dwelling or other residential schemes in keeping with neighbouring properties.
Important practical considerations: the house is of non-standard timber construction and currently carries an EPC rating of F. Because of its construction type, mortgage lenders are unlikely to offer standard residential finance — the sale is realistically priced and marketed for cash buyers only. The property is occupied and usable for temporary living but will require updating and likely full refurbishment or replacement to meet contemporary standards.
Location benefits include semi-rural feel with good A12 and M25 access, fast broadband and strong mobile signal, and a range of nearby schools. Buyers should note local high crime figures and an expensive council tax band, which may affect short-term rental potential. Overall, this is a clear project site for a buyer able to proceed with cash funding and planning ambitions.
