Land for sale in Land And House, Martins, Houghton, Stockbridge SO20

The property is being sold with full planning consent for a substantial extension and alternations to the existing property and the creation of a separate residential dwelling.

Built in 1932 the current house is thought to have been extended in the 1980's and has been much improved and refurbished by the current owner. The property has had extensive re wiring, new plumbing and bathrooms fitted, new kitchen installed and redecorated. The house is exceptionally light and bright with very generously proportioned rooms. The welcoming front hall leads to the drawing room, dining room and the kitchen/breakfast room. The drawing room is a light and bright space being dual aspect. Upstairs there is a large principal bedroom with en suite and two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Considerately and imaginatively designed by the award winning Lesley Halley associates, the current planning permission permits for extensions and alterations to the existing property including altering the garage into a games room. Other uses for the garage such as an annexe could be considered. The design for the new build incorporates large bedrooms and a vaulted ceiling to the master bedroom, with ensuite bathroom. The oversize single garage is attached to the house allowing convenient use and ample storage space as may be required. Subject to further planning you could look at a resubmission to create a single residential home.

Occupying a corner plot, the current owners have already complied with some of the conditions of the planning permission, these include newly formed entrance as well as other highways conditions.

All planning permissions can be viewed via Test Valley Borough Council website, under planning reference 19/01615/fulls.
