A truly exciting opportunity to acquire a 1930's Paddick Built detached home on a generous plot with planning approval for a large executive family home. The original plot has been split with the property accessed from Old Bath Road and a second plot to the rear which will also be considered for sale via separate negotiations.

Alternatively, the existing property which offers 1977sq. Ft. (184 sq. Mtr.) of living accommodation and requires modernisation throughout could be re-furbished and reconfigured to create to fabulous characterful family home in this highly sought after location. The existing home has a substantial in-and-out driveway at the front of the house with ample parking for several vehicles and a generous garden to the rear. On the ground floor there are three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and WC. There are three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet on the first floor and the loft has been partially converted to create a further bedroom and bathroom.
The plot has been split and there is also additional potential to acquire another development site to the rear of the property which does not have planning but offers scope to build another large home. This would be under separate negotiations and would suit a or self-builder or simply add a larger garden with future potential to the existing house. Contact Winkworth for more information on this expectational opportunity.
