Summary - 19 Higher Drive CR8 2HQ
4 bed 1 bath Plot
Derelict four-bed with strong planning pre-app and high redevelopment upside.
Circa 0.65 acre secluded, wooded plot with long private access strip
A rare, secluded plot in Purley with an existing four-bedroom detached house and substantial redevelopment potential. The site extends to roughly 0.65 acres with a long private access strip and mature trees creating strong privacy and treed outlooks. A positive pre-application response has been received, indicating potential for large extensions or subdivision subject to full planning consent.
The current house is derelict and requires complete refurbishment throughout; services include mains gas and a boiler with radiators but the building is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation. There is one bathroom and roughly six main rooms, so the property is best suited to a buyer prepared to invest in renovation or a developer targeting multiple dwellings (planning required). The plot includes an outbuilding/garage and generous rear/side wooded grounds with uneven topography.
Practical advantages include excellent local schools within short distances, good rail links (Reedham station nearby), fast broadband and strong mobile signal, low local crime and chain-free sale. Drawbacks to factor: significant remedial works expected, council tax band is high, EPC currently D, and any redevelopment will need formal planning consent. The property will be offered at auction on 05 November 2025 unless sold beforehand.
