5 bed detached house for sale

Melbourne Road, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire B61

Rare Development Opportunity on a Prime 0.33 Acre Plot

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial detached residence occupying approximately one-third of an acre, complete with outline planning permission for two detached dwellings and further potential for redevelopment, refurbishment or investment (subject to the necessary consents).

Properties offering this level of flexibility are increasingly rare. Whether you're a developer seeking your next project, an investor looking to unlock additional value or a purchaser searching for a substantial family home with future potential, this impressive property presents a wealth of possibilities.

Occupying a generous and private plot, the existing five-bedroom detached residence has been a much-loved home for around 150 years and offers over two floors of versatile accommodation. However, it is the site's development potential that truly sets it apart.

Outline planning permission has already been granted for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of two detached homes, providing purchasers with an exciting opportunity to create two substantial new-build properties. Architectural plans have also been prepared for the conversion of the existing building into four apartments (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission), while the generous plot and existing accommodation may also appeal to buyers considering refurbishment, extension or alternative investment strategies, including a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), subject to all relevant permissions and licensing.

Existing Accommodation

The current property offers spacious and adaptable accommodation extending across two floors.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to a range of reception rooms, including an impressive principal living room extending to over nine metres in length, creating an excellent space for both family living and entertaining. A second reception room provides further flexibility, while the spacious kitchen is complemented by a separate formal dining room, making the property equally suited to everyday family life and larger gatherings.

A useful utility room and ground-floor bathroom add practicality, while an additional reception room, currently arranged as a home gym, could easily serve as a home office, playroom, snug or further sitting room depending on individual requirements.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms, including an exceptionally spacious principal bedroom. A modern shower room serves the first floor, completing accommodation that could readily support a large family while redevelopment plans are considered.

Outside

Approached through gated access, the property benefits from a private courtyard-style driveway providing ample off-road parking alongside a detached garage offering excellent storage or workshop space.

The plot itself extends to approximately one-third of an acre and represents the property's greatest asset. Offering excellent privacy, generous proportions and established surroundings, it provides an outstanding foundation for redevelopment while still accommodating the existing home.

Location

Situated on Melbourne Road, the property enjoys a highly convenient position within Bromsgrove, offering easy access to highly regarded schools, local shopping facilities, leisure amenities and excellent transport connections. The nearby motorway network provides straightforward access to Birmingham, Worcester and the wider Midlands, making the location attractive for both owner-occupiers and future developers alike.

Development opportunities of this scale, with planning already secured and multiple future options available, are seldom offered to the market. Whether retained as a substantial family home or transformed into a significant development project, this is a property offering exceptional potential both now and for the future.

Viewing is strictly by appointment to fully appreciate the size of the plot, the versatility of the existing accommodation and the outstanding opportunities this unique property presents.
