Description
Baskerville House is an impressive, four storey, former Victorian vicarage dating back to the late 1800s. It has a generous floor area extending to an approximate 5,488 square feet (510sq m), which has been converted into a house of multiple occupation, comprising five small studio flats and eight bed sitting rooms, each of which has its own fully fitted kitchen and all of which have generous and more than adequate shared communal bathroom facilities. The majority are fully occupied and the building is capable of generating a significant income (approximately £69,000 per annum when fully occupied). The property still retains potential to be converted/returned to a single residential dwelling.
Standing on the junction of Cowleigh Road and Cowleigh Bank, with dual access onto the main highway, the house is set in communal lawned grounds with extensive off road private parking.
Potential To Extend/Develop
Informal discussions with architects and the local planning authority indicate that there might be potential to develop and extend the house to both the right and left, and to split the title (subject to formal consent)
Services
We have been advised that mains services are connected to the property. A gas fired boiler located on the lower ground floor level provides heating for the whole building. All flats have their own meters and fuse boards with up to date EICR's granted in 2021.
This information has not been checked with the respective service providers and interested parties may wish to make their own enquiries with the relevant local authority. No statement relating to services or appliances should be taken to infer that such items are in satisfactory working order and intending occupiers are advised to satisfy themselves where necessary.
