Secluded gated acreage with lawful permitted development potential, ideal for experienced buyers.
Gated canal-side plot circa 1.03 acres with high privacy
This secluded, gated canal-side property occupies a very large plot (circa 1.03 acres) and includes a timber-built four-bedroom bungalow plus a detached residential outbuilding. A certificate of lawful use and planning for permitted development are in place, presenting clear scope for extension or full redevelopment subject to necessary consents. The site sits within Cowley Conservation Area and is set back from the road behind mature trees, offering high levels of privacy and a semi-rural outlook while remaining about 10 minutes’ drive from Uxbridge.
The bungalow is a single-storey, solid-brick style property with double glazing and mains gas central heating. The house and outbuildings show signs of neglect and will need repair and updating; ceilings are low in places and the house reads as a fixer-upper with clear scope for refurbishment or replacement. Construction date is recorded within the 1950–1966 band; walls are likely uninsulated and improvement works should be budgeted for.
Practical considerations: vehicular access is limited to a 10-ton maximum, broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the local area scores as deprived. These constraints affect some end uses but do not negate the core value driver — a large, gated waterside plot with lawful planning credentials. An adjoining similarly sized plot is available separately, increasing redevelopment flexibility.
Suitable buyers are experienced investors, developers and builders seeking a substantial canal-side site with permitted development potential, or a buyer wanting a private riverside home and willing to invest in refurbishment. Planning is not guaranteed for every scheme; purchasers must satisfy planning and conservation requirements before redevelopment.
