Description Dating from the 1950s, 7 Cordy's Lane comprises a chalet style bungalow with tremendous potential occupying a site of approximately an acre in a desirable location close to the centre of the village. The property is in need of refurbishment throughout and as such offers huge scope to be renovated, remodelled and extended, subject to the necessary consents, to a new owner's preferred style and design, as other properties nearby have done in recent times. Alternatively the bungalow could be demolished to make way for a replacement dwelling, and with the entirety of the gardens and grounds falling within the settlement boundary of the village, there is potential to undertake further development on site - all of which, of course, would be subject to the necessary permissions from the local planning authority. Outside the property is surrounded by the more formal gardens with an 'in-and-out' driveway to the front of the property beside which is a garage. There is also a five bar gate that provides vehicular access to the rear. To the rear of the property there is a good size garden, with a number of mature trees and shrubs and a timber frame stable. To the rear of the garden is a second five bar gate and this provides access to the former paddock, which extends to approximately 0.8 acres (0.32 hectares). This area is particularly private with numerous mature trees along the perimeter. In all the gardens, grounds and former paddock extend to approximately 1.1 acres (0.45 hectares).
Overage The property will be sold subject to an overage provision whereby for a period of 25 years, if planning consent for residential development is obtained, then 30% of the enhanced planning value will be payable to the sellers if such planning permission is implemented or the property sold with the benefit of such planning permission.
