DESCRIPTION
Cherry Cottage is a freehold 2-bedroom detached character cottage purchased by our vendor/clients in January 1976 and it is easy to see why they have been here so long with glorious views over their own fine gardens and far beyond plus an adjacent paddock itself, also having a beautiful back-drop.The property has huge scope for extension and in-fact, Planning Permission for a substantial scheme was granted in 1981. Our vendor/clients have the original Approved Drawings from that time and would be happy to show them to any interested parties at the time of viewing, upon request. This 9181 Permission still has relevance today, in that, we are advised that the building of the existing garage formed part of the Approved Scheme therefore meaning that the construction of the said garage not only implemented the position but has also preserved it. In other words, this means that a new prospective purchaser may be able to continue the development, provided it is built strictly in accordance with the originally approved details. Our vendor/clients also have a letter from Wychavon District Council, dated 17 March, 2006, confirming exactly this, albeit prospective purchasers should most definitely make their own detailed formal enquiries on the basis that neither ourselves, or the sellers, make any guarantee, or warranty, whatsoever.Similar detached properties in this price bracket, with this degree of potential and amenity, would be exceptionally difficult to find and as such here is a very rare opportunity to create one's very own 'grand design' with great accessibility to surrounding major towns and Motorway links.The property is truly only fully appreciated by personal inspection and is greatly enhanced by the extensive driveway approach through its own grounds.
