We are delighted to present to the market this substantial four-bedroom detached family home, occupying a generous plot within the highly regarded Chancellors area of Stevenage. Offered chain free and representing an exciting opportunity for investors, developers or buyers seeking to create their own bespoke family residence, the property benefits from approved planning permission for substantial extensions and alterations, offering considerable scope to transform and enhance the existing accommodation.

Ideally positioned within easy reach of Lister Hospital, with excellent access to the A1(M) and surrounding amenities, the property combines a desirable residential location with significant development potential.

The approved planning permission provides for the erection of a two-storey side extension, single-storey front porch, single-storey rear extension and garage conversion, presenting an excellent opportunity to substantially increase and reconfigure the existing living accommodation, subject to the approved plans and relevant building regulations.

The existing accommodation is generously proportioned and begins with an entrance hallway, providing access to a downstairs WC and an impressive L-shaped open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area. This expansive living space offers considerable flexibility and provides an excellent foundation for creating a contemporary, open-plan family environment. A separate utility room is conveniently positioned off the kitchen.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where four well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family living. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Externally, the property occupies an attractive plot, benefiting from a private wraparound rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and offering excellent scope for landscaping and outdoor entertaining. Excavation works for the proposed rear extension footings have already commenced, providing a starting point for the planned development.

To the front, the property benefits from a double garage and driveway providing off-road parking for approximately two to three vehicles**.

**important – unfinished renovation project**

Prospective purchasers should be aware that the property is being sold as an unfinished renovation project, with certain improvement works already undertaken.

These include an upgraded central heating system, electrical rewiring and the replacement of several first-floor windows. Preparatory excavation works have also commenced within the rear garden in connection with the proposed extension.

Please note that the downstairs WC and main family bathroom currently have no sanitary ware installed, and further works will be required to bring the property to a completed and habitable standard.

The property is therefore particularly suited to purchasers with the experience, resources and vision to undertake the remaining renovation and development works, capitalising on the existing accommodation and approved planning permission.

Offering substantial accommodation, a generous plot, approved planning permission and considerable potential for improvement, this represents an exciting opportunity to create an impressive family home in one of Stevenage's most desirable residential locations.

Offered chain free, viewing comes highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale of the property, the approved development plans and the opportunity on offer.
