4 bedroom detached house for sale

AUCTION - A huge house with the option from Planning Permission for a new build in the garden... or simply a large garden!!

This one has the lot... POSITION (within walking distance from the centre of Bottesford), SETTING (mature shrubs and boundary trees ensure a wonderful feeling of privacy, AND PLOT (in the region of 0.25 acres, large enough to have enabled Planning Permission to be granted for a further Bungalow in the gardens or for the reinstatement of the wonderful landscaped garden that was laid many years ago... you can clearly see the shaping and groundworks).

Enjoying a very mature and sizeable plot, this type of property rarely comes to the market, with the family having enjoyed many happy years at Number 23; hence the well-stocked and lovingly created garden over many years that provide a wonderful array of colour and texture throughout.

Charming homes with plenty of character and within a stroll of the Village centre seldom appear on the market ! However, when they do, interest is always intense; especially when they are ripe for someone with imagination and flair to create a beautiful family home with a sympathetic scheme of modernisation and upgrading. There are high ceilings and plenty of character with many original features still in place and with 1,400sqft of accommodation, this is very much a blank canvas for the right buyer. The property is being offered with NO CHAIN and a speedy completion for the right buyer.

Position, Setting & Plot - The property occupies a fantastic, well proportioned, established plot which, in its current layout, provides gardens to four sides set back from the lane behind a picket fenced frontage with leylandii hedging and adjacent driveway providing off road car standing for numerous vehicles. We understand from the vendors, located within the frontage is a freshwater well.

The gardens lie to all sides, the predominance being to the southerly aspect being mainly laid to lawn with well stocked perimeter borders having an abundance of trees and shrubs. The property does however benefit from planning permission granted to split the garden, creating a building plot at the foot with a proposal for a single storey, contemporary dwelling with access on the easterly side leading off Station Road. Even with the building completed, this will still leave a relatively generous garden by modern standards for the original dwelling and clearly suggests the considerable potential of the site.

In addition to the main dwelling, the property has planning approval granted in October 2024 by Melton Borough Council under application number 24/00543/FUL for an interesting, self build, detached, single storey home designed with very much a contemporary look to create an individual property which, under the current plans, would extend to around 1,000 sq.ft. Although this may offer potential for a future purchaser to split the site it could also be opened up to a wider market, possibly for families with dependent relatives, or extended families, who may look to amalgamate the site, making use of both the main period home as well as the planning approval at the rear.

Further details can be found on Melton Borough Council's planning portal under the above application.
