Prime Development Opportunity | Existing 3-Bed Home with Planning History for Additional Dwelling
An exceptional opportunity for developers or forward-thinking buyers — this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home comes with an expansive garden and significant development potential, with previous planning permission submitted for a three-bedroom detached dwelling to be built within the grounds (subject to updated approval).
Set on a generous plot, the current owners have already explored the process of splitting the title to create a separate dwelling to the rear of the garden. While planning has not yet been finalised, the proposal is well advanced — only minor revisions to the parking arrangements are required to bring this vision to life.
The Existing Home
The existing property is move-in ready, offering stylish and spacious accommodation across three floors. The front aspect offers curb appeal with brick and cladding frontage, anthracite windows and doors, and solar panels for eco-conscious living. A large driveway provides space for 2–3 vehicles and continues along the side of the property, offering direct access to the rear garden and proposed plot.
Stepping inside, the porch provides ample storage for coats and shoes. The entrance leads to a bright and airy living space with southeast-facing window and under-stairs storage. A central hallway leads to a dedicated utility/WC, and through to a modern kitchen/diner with Smeg appliances, built-in fridge freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, and grill. Patio doors open directly onto the oversized garden.
The first floor offers two double bedrooms — one with built-in wardrobes and storage — and a modern family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the top floor, which has been cleverly converted into a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite and two bespoke children's beds built into the eaves, making it an ideal family space or playroom.
The Garden & Development Potential
The oversized rear garden is split into several distinct zones: Patio, turfed lawn, further patio and decking areas, plus a large timber shed. The rear portion of the garden, with existing side access via the driveway, forms the proposed site for the additional four-bedroom detached home.
The scale of the garden and access makes this an ideal small development project. With strong foundations already in place through previous applications, this is a rare chance to develop a second dwelling without compromising the quality of the existing home
