DESCRIPTION Rockwood is a detached home ready for a new lease of life. It is rather special as it occupies a large, mature, and private garden on a desirable residential road in our region's most sought after village. At 0.46 acres it is very rare indeed in the opportunities it offers. For those seeking a large premium site the house could be extended and modernised to provide a striking contemporary property that can take full advantage of the wonderful private west facing gardens. Alternatively as we have already seen on Plains Road, the site could be subdivided subject to planning, to create an exclusive cul de sac. The opportunities are there for those that have the vision.
NB Due to the potential planning opportunity the sale will be subject to an overage clause on any new builds. This does not apply to the renovation or improvement of Rockwood.
