Summary - SUBSTANTIAL DETACHED HOUSE FOR UPDATING ON A 0.45 ACRE PLOT

Description - An exciting opportunity to purchase a substantial 5-bedroom detached house occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.45 acres. The property is in need of some updating and offers scope to add value and create a fine family home in this popular location in Almondsbury. There are extensive gardens to the side and rear, a large detached double garage and a generous gravel driveway providing ample off-street parking. The flexible accommodation extends to just under 2,000 sq ft and features an expansive open-plan living/dining space on the ground floor and four or five double bedrooms depending on your requirements. A rare find offering excellent value for money for private buyers and developers.

Location - The property is situated on the popular Hortham Lane in Almondsbury on the northern fringes of Bristol. There is fantastic access onto the M4, M5 & M32 motorways, while Bristol Parkway Railway Station can be reached within 5 miles where there are regular trains to London. Almondsbury Garden Centre and Almondsbury village are within easy reach where you'll find a selection of local shops and pubs.

Accommodation - The sprawling ground floor accommodation is approached via the entrance hall, which leads to a generous open-plan living/dining room with windows to the front and sliding doors onto the rear garden. This centrally located living space gives access to the remainder of the ground floor rooms, which include the kitchen, utility room, snug, lounge/bedroom and a shower room. An open staircase leads up to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a family bathroom, all arranged around a central landing.

Please refer to floorplan for approximate room measurements and internal layout.

Outside - The property sits within a generous level plot (approx. 0.45 acres) including a gravel driveway, a detached double garage, a smaller single garage and extensive gardens to the side and rear of the main house. The grounds may offer long-term potential for redevelopment, subject to consents.

Planning History - An outline planning application for the erection of two detached dwellings on the land to the side of the main house was refused on 24 May 2024 under Application No. P24/00596/O. The property is situated within the Green Belt and it was considered that the proposal under this application did not fall within the limited categories of development normally considered appropriate within the Green Belt. In addition, it had not been demonstrated that very special circumstances exist, such that the normal presumption against development in the Green Belt should be overridden.

Tenure - The property is for sale on a freehold basis.

Completion - Completion for this lot will be 8 weeks from exchange of contracts or sooner by mutual agreement.
