Church Road, Hartley, Longfield
£750,000
Our Summary
- Timber in construction the property has stood the test of time over the last 60 years and still has plenty of charm although modernisation would be required
- A summerhouse with kitchenette and toilet give further development potential with the possibility of even splitting the plot to develop two areas
- Again subject to planning agreement
- Planning Statement - I see from the papers that planning consent was granted for the erection of the Colt bungalow under consent reference 5/60/377
- The next stage could be to consider some extensions to both properties
- Any planning application must be determined in accordance with a development plan unless other material considerations indicate an alternative result
- Having regard to all of the above considerations, the planning balance indicates to me that the independent use and creation of a separate dwelling unit around the small property at the front of the site is feasible with perhaps some extensions
- To summarise, handled correctly there is potential to improve the existing housing provision on this site
Description
This charming property, a Colt modular home built in the 1960s, has been in the same family for over 60 years and is now available for sale. Situated on a picturesque acre plot in Church Road, Hartley, the property offers a unique opportunity to refurbish or develop the plot, subject to planning permission. The current dwelling is a three-bedroom bungalow with a large open-plan living and dining space, central fireplace, and original underfloor heating. The property has a detached garage, carport, and summerhouse with kitchenette and toilet, providing potential for further development. The plot itself is a stunning feature, with a gentle slope leading to views of the countryside beyond. Planning permission has been granted for the original bungalow, and with careful handling, there is potential to improve and increase the floor area available for residential purposes. The property's location in the Metropolitan Green Belt means that any development must be carefully considered and handled in accordance with local planning policies.
