Set on an exceptional 1.45-acre plot on High Road, Fobbing, this detached four-bedroom house sits at the front of a substantial plot with outline planning consent to create four additional four-bedroom detached homes. The existing house is substantial (circa 2,100 sq ft) with generous reception rooms, a conservatory, large leisure room and a double-depth garage — providing income or occupation while development proceeds.
Outline planning (ref 24/01353/out) has been granted for demolition of the existing garage, alteration of access and formation of a private drive to serve four new 4-bed detached dwellings with garages and landscaping. For a developer or investor this is a rare roadside plot with over 120 ft frontage and some 523 ft depth, creating a straightforward parcel for phased redevelopment (subject to reserved matters and statutory approvals).
The existing house is solid-brick construction (1930s–40s), double glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The accommodation is large and comfortable but dated in parts; the property appears to need modernization and energy upgrades (walls assumed uninsulated). Broadband is very slow in the area — likely to affect home working until improved — and council tax is high (Band F). Buyers should allow budget for refurbishment, services upgrades and plot remediation as part of a development programme.
This opportunity suits a developer or investor seeking a permitted-site in an affluent, semi-rural location with good road frontage and clear potential for four high-value family homes. Existing accommodation offers immediate utility or rental potential, but purchasers must factor in construction costs, connections, reserved matters approval and any site-specific constraints discovered on survey.
