Set on a rare 1.7-acre plot, this detached four-bedroom house offers substantial scope for improvement and clear development potential (subject to planning). The site includes a commercial yard with storage—practical for a business owner—or it can be incorporated into a redevelopment scheme. The house is offered chain free, with generous off-street parking and a detached garage providing immediate practical value.
The house retains period character and generous reception space across two storeys, laid out for comfortable family living. There is one family bathroom and a large kitchen/diner with adjoining utility; internal layout and original features present a strong refurbishment opportunity to add modern comforts and energy-efficiency. The property was constructed between 1930–1949 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), so upgrading heating and insulation will be a likely cost.
Planning history is mixed: a 2024 application to demolish and build three dwellings was refused (Ref: BES140519), though agents note indications that permission for two replacement dwellings may be achievable. Buyers pursuing redevelopment should budget for planning risk and professional fees. The site’s size and location make it attractive for renovation, extension or redevelopment for either owner-occupation with ancillary business use, or as an investment proposition.
Practical local advantages include low crime, excellent mobile signal, average broadband, nearby shops, schools (including highly rated Becket Keys and other strong local primaries), and straightforward transport links. Energy-efficiency works, single bathroom, and potential planning costs are notable drawbacks to factor into budgets.
