Period detached home with planning permissions and large private plot near village amenities.
Elevated plot with panoramic Chiltern Hills views
Set on an elevated plot at the edge of Flackwell Heath, this detached three-bedroom period home delivers wide Chilterns views and generous outdoor space. The house currently offers two dual-aspect reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room opening to mature gardens, utility and study/bedroom four, with three good bedrooms upstairs.
Significant permitted development adds value: full planning permission is approved for a two-storey extension (Ref: 23/05516/FUL) and outline permission for an additional dwelling on the land is awaiting decision. The plot’s size and privacy create clear potential for an extended family home or a development opportunity (subject to final consent).
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil boiler, walls are original solid brick (likely uninsulated), the EPC is band E, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is in a high band (G). The house dates from before 1900 and will benefit from modernisation in places rather than move-in perfection.
Walking distance to village shops, well-regarded primary and secondary schools, and countryside trails, the home balances rural character with everyday convenience. For investors, the vendor suggests a rental range of £2,500–£2,750pcm; for families, the approved extension and generous plot offer straightforward scope to create more living space and improve energy performance.
