** DETACHED BUNGALOW ** SURROUNDING GARDEN & PADDOCKS ** TOTAL SITE APPROACHING 2.4 ACRES ** PLANNING APPROVAL FOR ADDITIONAL DWELLING ** FANTASTIC EDGE OF VILLAGE LOCATION ** CONSIDERABLE POTENTIAL ** APPROXIMATELY 0.35 ACRE GARDEN & APPROACHING 2 ACRES OF PADDOCKS ** AMPLE OFF ROAD PARKING & DOUBLE GARAGE ** DELIGHTFUL OPEN VIEWS ** VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **
A really exciting opportunity to purchase an individual detached traditional bungalow which occupies a substantial plot extending to approximately 0.4 acres, including 0.35 acres of formal garden and approaching 2 acres of adjacent grazing land which wraps around the side and rear, providing a fantastic vista from the property.
Within the formal gardens planning permission has already been approved for an additional dwelling, adding to the considerable potential of the site. Although there is of course the opportunity for multiple dwellings, it would also be perfect for those looking to create an individual home in an edge of village setting and, with its own adjacent grazing, potentially making it ideal for the equestrian user.
The bungalow itself provides around 1,200sq.ft. of accommodation comprising a large open plan dining kitchen which benefits from a dual aspect and leads through into a substantial side entrance hall/utility room and further boiler room/cloak room. From the dining kitchen a snug/family room leads, in turn, into a spacious central hallway from which is a dual aspect sitting room with walk in bay window, two double bedrooms and shower room.
Several of the rooms offer dual aspects across the property's own gardens and adjacent paddocks providing fantastic views, particularly to the north and westerly aspects. Although the bungalow is likely to require some cosmetic updating it provides a fantastic blank canvas with great potential to create an individual home.
As well as the main accommodation outline planning permission has been granted by Newark & Sherwood District Council in 2023 which would allow for the construction of a single detached dwelling on the easterly side of the plot with further details available on their planning portal under application number 23/00097/OUT.
Overall this is a really exciting opportunity to purchase a unique home setting, particularly in light of it's further potential.
Viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.

Exterior - The bungalow occupies a substantial plot with gardens extending to approximately 0.375 of an acre or around 1500sq.m., mainly laid to lawn and well stocked with established trees and shrubs with large driveway and detached double garage. To the north easterly side of the plot there is already planning approval for an additional dwelling but the property has a fantastic addition of approximately 2.1 acres of adjacent grassland enclosed by hedging and post rail fencing with additional gated access off the main road. This makes it an exciting opportunity, particularly for the equestrian orientated purchaser, to acquire an individual detached bungalow with adjacent land but also, subject to additional consents, scope to expand the accommodation further or even implement currently approved planning.

Additional Notes - Please note that the bungalow and formal gardens are on separate titles to the additional paddocks. They will therefore be purchased as separate lots but as part of the same transaction. Consideration will be given to the appropriate assigned values but it's worth noting that the paddocks will not be sold on their own without being purchased with the bungalow.
It is also worth noting that Purchasers will enter into an Overage Agreement providing for a payment of 30% of the uplift in value between agricultural / paddock land value and development land value in the event of Planning Permission granted for residential or commercial property development. The period of the Overage Agreement shall be 25 years. Development of agricultural buildings and equestrian buildings is exempt from the overage. The details of this will need to be discussed and approved prior to a sale being agreed.
Property is understood to be on mains drainage, electric and water. Central heating is oil fired. (information taken from Energy performance certificate and/or vendor).
The property is currently rented on a short hold tenancy.
We are aware there is planning approved approximately half a mile away at "Belvoir Lakes", to develop the site for self catering holiday lodges around a fishing lake complex. The development of the lakes has been in the pipeline for many years and to date has yet to be developed. The site is currently on the market.
