Spacious detached home with development consent and a self-contained lodge.
Approximately 1.2 acres of formal landscaped gardens
Set on approximately 1.2 acres of formal, landscaped gardens, this unique detached house in premier Grasscroft offers an exceptional family plot or development opportunity. The existing four-bedroom home spans two levels with generous reception rooms, a conservatory, modern kitchen with underfloor heating and double bedrooms that all enjoy far-reaching views across the grounds.
Outline planning permission (application OUT/352592/24) has been granted for three substantial detached homes, making this a rare site for developers or buyers seeking to rebuild or extend. The plot also includes a self-contained summerhouse/lodge with bedroom, kitchen and bathroom — suitable for guests, extended family or short stay rental — plus a large garage (fits three cars), adjoining storage/gym and a separate office with WC and its own entrance.
Practical points are clear: the house was built in 1960 and while presented to a good standard, the property has an Energy Rating of E and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further energy improvements may be required. Council Tax band G is relatively high. All redevelopment or extension options remain subject to the usual consents.
For buyers seeking privacy, countryside walks and excellent local schools, this elevated site on Burnedge Lane combines lifestyle and considerable potential. Viewings recommended for purchasers wanting a substantial plot, flexible accommodation and the scope to create a bespoke family home or a small gated development.
