Summary

Fantastic redevelopment opportunity in the heart of westbury-on-trym

Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a 3-bedroom semi-detached Cornish-style house set on a generous, level plot within a sought-after cul-de-sac in the heart of Westbury-on-Trym.

The property, constructed of non-traditional concrete panels (currently unsuitable for standard mortgage lending), presents exceptional potential for redevelopment. There is ample scope to undertake the required ‘bricking-up’ works to bring the property up to mortgageable standards, as well as to extend to the side and rear similar to the adjoining properties - subject to the necessary consents.

One of the few remaining homes in the area yet to undergo these improvement works, this property represents a rare chance for builders, investors, and developers to add significant value. Conveniently located within close proximity to Elmlea Primary School and other local amenities, it offers the perfect foundation for creating a spacious and desirable family home.

Location

Withey Close East is a quiet and highly sought-after cul-de-sac situated in the heart of Westbury-on-Trym, one of Bristol’s most desirable residential suburbs. The area is renowned for its friendly community atmosphere, attractive tree-lined streets, and convenient access to a wide range of local amenities. The property enjoys a prime position within easy reach of Westbury Village, offering an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, pubs, and restaurants. Families are particularly drawn to the area thanks to its proximity to the highly regarded Elmlea Primary School and Durdham Downs.

Development Potential

Currently constructed of non-traditional concrete panels, the property presents a superb opportunity to 'brick-up' the ground floor elevations whilst also extending to the side and rear, subject to consents. Similar properties in the area have been extended at ground and first floor levels to provide generous family living accommodation on the ground floor and a fourth bedroom on the first floor.

We would anticipate a resale value in the region of £750,000 - £800,000 if the property is redeveloped in this way.
