Description

An exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a 2 acre plot with immense scope and potential,. The plot currently comprises the original two bedroomed detached bungalow with garaging and a vast range of outbuildings.

Historically the property was previously run as a vegetable market garden and nursery, therefore it contains a large glass outbuilding and bases of former outbuildings.

Planning permission has been granted for conversion of one of the brick barns, and includes a 50% extension to the rear of the barn to create a three bedroomed, two bath property. This will total consist of about 1,700 sqft of accommodation.

The existing bungalow comprises:

Entrance porch opens through to: Reception hall, radiator and doors leading off to:

Sitting room, leaded bay window to the front elevation, feature fireplace surround and radiator.

Kitchen, base and wall units, four ring gas hob, electric double oven, stainless steel sink unit, plumbing for dishwasher, leaded double glazed window to the rear, gas boiler and pantry area.

Bedroom two, leaded double glazed window to the rear, radiator, fitted wardrobes and built-in cupboard.

Shower room, low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, shower cubicle, towel radiator, leaded double glazed window to the side.

Barn for conversion - The property has full planning permission granted for the conversion of a former brick outbuilding and to extend by 50% to create a new detached dwelling. Full planning permission was granted in August 2023 for the conversion. The permission includes for parking and widening of the existing access and full details of the planning application can be found on Rushcliffe Borough Councils website, planning reference 23/00968/FUL.

The plans illustrate a barn with three double bedrooms, a large living/dining kitchen spanning the rear of the property which is proposed to be within the new extension. In addition there is a utility room. The overall size of the dwelling will be approximately 1,700 sqft with the proposed footprint of the new extension to be 53 sqm.

Outside / grounds - The plot extends to just over 2 acres, fronting onto Cotgrave Lane and accessed via an impressive in/out driveway with an expansive gravelled drive with parking for numerous vehicles. The in and out driveway lends itself to create an independent access for the bungalow and the barn if desired. Adjacent to the bungalow is a detached garage with two outbuildings, one housing a toilet. There is wide gated access along each side of the property to the rear garden and the barn for conversion. There are numerous outbuildings situated on the plot as the property was formerly a market garden which was open to the public. There is a paddock to the rear with well-established hedge and tree boundaries. Within the garden is a substantial 20m x 20m greenhouse with 3 Phase electricity which the market garden used to trade from, this could make a fabulous space for a variety of purposes.
