A VICTORIAN SEMI-DETACHED COTTAGE REQUIRING RENOVATION WITH VALID PLANNING PERMISSION TO EXTEND TO BOTH THE SIDE AND REAR ON A GOOD PLOT
This Victorian cottage lies on the edge of Felmersham, a highly desirable Ouse Valley village in North Bedfordshire. As evidenced from the photographs this three bedroom semi-detached cottage is ripe for renovation and internally the majority of the plaster has been removed exposing the original brick walls. Clearly there is potential to just restore the existing cottage albeit the current owners have secured valid planning permission under application number 23/00961/FULL from Bedfordshire Borough Council to extend the cottage and take its current gross internal area of 810 sq ft up to 1,220 sq ft. This would involve knocking down the current lean-to on the side to create additional ground and first floor accommodation together with single storey extension to the rear with bi fold doors opening onto the rear garden.
The floor plans included within this brochure show the accommodation that could be created by extending and they work extremely well. Downstairs the cottage would have an open plan feel on the ground floor and upstairs there would be principal bedroom suite with two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the cottage is a small area of lawn with brick paved path leading to the front door. To the south of the cottage is a brick paved drive which would currently accommodate two vehicles.
To the rear of the cottage is a charming cottage garden, deceptive in size and backing onto farmland. The garden provides a blank canvas and includes a number of mature fruit trees.
LOCATION
Felmersham is a popular Ouse Valley village with parish church, pre-school and Pinchmill lower school which has an excellent reputation. The village is the highly respected Sharnbrook catchment area. The neighbouring village of Sharnbrook to the north offers a good range of shopping facilities with more extensive shopping and leisure facilities available in the towns of Bedford, Olney, Rushden and further afield at Milton Keynes.
