A substantial Victorian detached home on around a quarter-acre plot, this four-bedroom property combines original period character with clear development potential. Internally the house offers about 1,450 sq ft across multiple floors, with two reception rooms, attic space and a large southerly/rear garden. Planning permission (Oct 2024, Melton Borough Council ref 24/00543/FUL) exists to erect a detached contemporary single-storey bungalow of c.1,000 sq ft at the foot of the garden, making the site rare for the area.
The house retains many period features — stripped pine skirtings, picture rails, fireplaces and a bay window — but requires an overall programme of modernisation to meet current standards. Services are mains gas, gas boiler with radiators, and double glazing installed pre-2002. The property has cavity walls (as built) with no installed insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades and general refurbishment works.
For families the layout and garden lend themselves to comfortable everyday living with schools, village amenities and the railway within walking distance. For developers or investors the granted planning consent and large plot create options: split the site, build the additional bungalow, or create an extended-family arrangement using both dwellings. Low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern living.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, garden aspect and siting of the approved building plot. Important practical points: the house needs renovation, the glazing and wall insulation are dated/assumed absent, and the site has planning consent (buyer should verify final conditions with the council).
