5 bedroom detached house for sale

The property is located on Station Road just one mile away from the Guided Bus and adjoins fields to its rear and left side. The property is believed to have been constructed in the 1930s and consists of solid brick walls with a slate roof.

The property benefits from live planning consent to convert the former house into the proposed 5 bedroom property. This work completed so far includes the construction of the ground floor extension and the addition of a wide dormer window across the back elevation of the loft to create a second floor master bedroom with a large ensuite.

Full planning details can be found on the South Cambs Planning portal using reference: 22/01781/HFUL.

The property is currently stripped back to the structure and is ready for electric and plumbing to be installed. The property does not have central heating or fitted kitchens and bathrooms and therefore is unlikely to be suitable to buy with a mortgage, although development/bridging finance can be provided by the sellers for a suitable buyer.

POTENTIAL STAMP DUTY EXEMPTION

As the property is currently in an uninhabitable condition, it may be that SDLT exemptions could be applied to reduce any potential SDLT liability. This would be dependent on several factors including the purchasers own situation such as being a corporate entity purchaser or private individual. We would recommend that specific advice is taken in this regard.

ACCOMMODATION

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting room, dining room opening to a living room, and an extended kitchen/breakfast room with a door to the garden. On the first floor there are four bedrooms and unfitted rooms for a family bathroom, shower room and ensuite. The loft has been partially converted with the installation of wide dormer window across the rear of the house, which would allow for a fifth bedroom and ensuite. There is a gravelled front driveway providing parking for two/three cars.
