A delightful extended two bedroom end-terrace cottage and land, with planning permission for three detached homes offering the potential for a fantastic redevelopment opportunity and ROI.

General Description - Alexanders of Ashby-de-la-Zouch offer to the market this delightful extended cottage with substantial gardens, parking and development site, along with land and paddock located in the pretty village of Oakthorpe. Outline planning permission is granted for the construction of three properties totaling 7,800 square feet gross floor area with a GDV of circa £2,400,000, making this development perfect for small to medium sized developers with circa 35% return on investment.

The village is an attractive settlement in North West Leicestershire, with amenities such as a public house, leisure centre and a primary school rated 'Good' by Ofsted.

The sought-after market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch is within close proximity, and commuter links to Nottingham and Birmingham are excellent via the M42 motorway.

Accommodation - The property has been in family ownership for decades and has undergone a substantial schedule of renovation and extension in recent years.

The property has a floor area of circa 1,453 square feet providing living space laid across three floors. The accommodation comprises a hall, w.c, utility room, a front-to-back kitchen/diner with direct garden access, sitting room, and a separate conservatory.

Upstairs and laid across the first floor are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom provides an en-suite and dressing room. To the second floor is a spacious double sized attic room/study area.

The Outside - The property is set back from the road and side on, with off-road parking for two vehicles and a useful outbuilding.

On the opposite side of the drive, to the left-hand side, is a gated courtyard. To the rear are substantial lawned gardens enjoying a south-west facing aspect.

Agents Note - The site is accessed via a common ground driveway. The developable area totals 0.65 of an acre and alternative schemes could be proposed should the purchaser wish. There is a further 2.1 acres of paddock land that has been wilded by the current owners. It is thought that the paddocks could be split and included in the sale to plots 1 & 2 under the current scheme to enhance the resale value of the larger plots.

We estimate that there is around a 35% return on investment, making this opportunity exciting for the right developer.

Further detail can be found on the North West Leicestershire planning portal, application number 21/00438/OUT.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
