Description

A large, detached, stone built former Farmhouse originally constructed c.1815, extending to approximately 5,400 sq ft with seven bedrooms, a detached triple garage / workshop block and other out buildings, all on an ?L? shaped plot extending to c.0.5 acres which may have development potential for conversion of main house to 2 semi detached dwellings (4 & 5 bed) & new detached house in rear garden (STPP).

The existing house fronts Home Close in the centre of the picturesque village of Sharnbrook which is eight miles north of Bedford Town centre. Bedford has a fast direct train service to London St Pancras and convenient access to the A421 which links the A1 to the M1 at junction 13 and Milton Keynes.

In the opinion of our planning consultants, planning policy would support subdivision and or new dwellings, new build or conversion for residential or commercial use subject to satisfactory design. It is believed the existing house would be suitable for conversion to two or more residential properties or potentially convertible into apartments.
The rear garden could accommodate new residential, and the triple garage / workshop building could also be converted to residential use. All services are currently connected to the existing House. A pre app enquiry has been submitted to Bedford Borough Council who have indicated in principle that the conversion of the existing house and new development to the rear is acceptable subject to highways approving the access and parking arrangements. A copy of the councils advice is available on request.

The property is to be sold subject to and with the benefit of all wayleaves, easements and rights of way whether or not mentioned in these details. The land/property is available freehold.
