A RARE RIVERSIDE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

The Opportunity:

Occupying a wonderful position alongside the tranquil River Brede, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial riverside plot in a highly desirable location, with planning permission already granted to create an impressive and individually designed waterside home.

Combining an attractive setting, generous gardens, river frontage and exciting development potential, the property offers an opportunity for a developer, self-builder or purchaser with vision to create something truly special.

The approved plans – visualise what could be created

Planning permission (Ref: RR/2018/1690/P) provides for the removal of the existing front addition, the creation of a substantial rear extension and an enlarged roof incorporating front and rear dormer windows, together with a rear balcony.

The proposed scheme offers the opportunity to create a considerably enhanced home, thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding landscape and make the most of its exceptional riverside position.

The approved drawings provide an exciting insight into the scale of the proposed accommodation and the potential to create a distinctive contemporary waterside residence.

The existing property

The current detached bungalow provides open-plan reception, kitchen and study space, two double bedrooms, one with an adjoining snug or dressing room, and a shower room.
Although requiring full refurbishment and updating, the existing accommodation provides a starting point for those looking to undertake an exciting transformation project.

An exceptional riverside setting

The setting is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions. The generous rear garden extends directly towards the River Brede, with mooring and fishing rights adding to the appeal.

Enjoying views across open farmland, the position offers a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with the surrounding countryside. Whether enjoying a peaceful afternoon by the water, fishing, boating or simply taking in the outlook, this is a setting that offers a truly special way of life.

Further features:

• Generous riverside plot and gardens
• Planning permission for an extensive scheme of improvement and extension
• River Brede frontage
• Mooring and fishing rights
• Detached garage/outbuilding
• Summerhouse
• Off-road parking for approximately two to three vehicles
• Far-reaching countryside views

An opportunity not to be missed

Opportunities combining a generous riverside plot, planning permission and such an attractive setting are rarely available.

Whether you are a developer seeking an exciting project, a self-builder looking for the perfect setting or a purchaser dreaming of creating a bespoke waterside home, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a property with enormous potential in a highly desirable riverside location.

A special setting, an exciting vision and the opportunity to create a truly individual home.
