3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Blackmore Road, Buckhurst Hill IG9

Guide Price £600,000-£650,000. Rare Corner Plot | Development Potential | Double-Width Garage | 3 Bedroom Semi-Detached

Guide Price £600,000-£650,000. An exciting opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom brick-built semi-detached house occupying a particularly generous corner plot, with a double-width garage and significant potential for redevelopment or extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The property is in need of modernisation and refurbishment, making it an ideal project for buyers looking to create their own substantial family home in a highly sought-after Buckhurst Hill location. Properties offering this combination of corner plot, double-width garage and substantial development potential are rarely available in this location. An excellent opportunity for a purchaser prepared to undertake works and unlock the considerable potential of this property. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

Exceptional Potential

One of the property's major attractions is its large corner plot, offering considerably more scope than the typical semi-detached house. There is potential, subject to planning, to create a very substantial 5–6 bedroom family residence through a combination of a double-storey side extension, similar in scale to extensions already undertaken by neighbouring properties, together with a loft conversion incorporating rear dormer accommodation. Alternatively, the size and configuration of the plot may lend itself to a more ambitious redevelopment opportunity, with the possibility of subdividing the land and constructing an additional dwelling, subject entirely to obtaining the appropriate planning permission and satisfying the requirements of the local planning authority.

The existing house provides a blank canvas for someone with vision. Whether the aim is to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment and create a large family home, extend substantially, or explore the potential for redevelopment, the plot provides an unusually broad range of possibilities.

Development Opportunity

The property will particularly appeal to developers, builders, investors and owner-occupiers looking for a project. The potential concepts could include:

Option 1 – Large Family Home

A substantial double-storey side extension combined with a loft conversion/dormer could potentially transform the existing three-bedroom house into a 5–6 bedroom family home, subject to planning.

Option 2 – Redevelopment/Subdivision

Given the generous corner plot, there may also be potential to subdivide the land and create an additional dwelling, subject to planning permission, access, parking, amenity space and all other relevant requirements. Important: Any extension, conversion, subdivision or new-build proposal is subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions, building regulations approval and other relevant consents. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority before proceeding.
