**substantial victorian detached building with huge potential**

Former Public House Dating Back To The Late 1800s With Original Features...... Three Floors Including Cellar...... Excellent Redevelopment Potential...... Cash Buyers Only..... No Chain

An excellent opportunity to acquire this substantial Victorian double-fronted detached building, originally constructed as a public house dating back to the late 1800s. Currently classified as ancillary accommodation, the property offers an abundance of character, impressive proportions and significant potential for redevelopment, whether as a substantial residential dwelling or for alternative commercial purposes, all subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions following completion.

Requiring a full programme of renovation and modernisation, the property would ideally suit developers, investors or purchasers looking for a unique project with considerable scope to create something special.

The accommodation is arranged over three substantial floors, including an exceptionally large basement, with high ceilings measuring approximately 3.6 metres (over 11ft), generous room sizes and numerous original features throughout.

The ground floor comprises an entrance porch leading into a spacious hallway with staircase access to the first floor and basement. There are four generously proportioned reception rooms, many retaining original fireplaces and period features associated with the building's Victorian heritage.

To the first floor, a large landing provides access to three further substantial rooms, including one spanning the full width of the building, offering excellent flexibility for future reconfiguration.

The extensive basement accommodation provides further potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents.
Planning & important information


The property is currently classified as ancillary accommodation and is not being sold as an independent residential dwelling. Planning permission was previously granted in 2010 for the creation of an independent four-bedroom detached dwelling (Planning Reference: 83573/10). However, this permission has since lapsed.

Any new planning applications must be submitted following completion of the purchase, and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the suitability of the building for their intended use. No guarantee is given that any future planning application will be successful.

The property is available to cash buyers only.

Offering an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Victorian building with such impressive proportions and redevelopment potential, early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, character and possibilities on offer.
