Property description
A 5 bed detached house in generous established grounds (around 1.75 acres) WITH PLANNING PERMISSION to build an additional 5 bedroom 5 bathroom detached house in a severable plot in what is considered the premier area of Southampton. The main house \"Woodlands\" built around 1939, offers lots of character features and established gardens surrounded by woodland providing excellent seclusion accessed via a long drive and remote controlled gates from Green Lane. The plot of land where planning has been granted is situated in the ample front garden land where previously there were tennis courts (currently laid to lawn and shrubbery) - this land also benefits from the seclusion provided by the surrounding woodlands. Once the proposed house has been built by the new owner, the original house will still benefit from a mature front garden area, driveway, and the long established rear gardens.
Overview:
Woodlands is an attractive detached house with many character features situated in land with unusually large frontage (where the plot for the proposed new house is located) and approach via a long driveway. Also benefiting from good sized rear garden, and wooded areas on all sides providing privacy.The accommodation in the MAIN house consists of five bedrooms (plus additional 2nd floor room), family bathroom, 2 en-suites, living room, study, dining room, a modern and spacious kitchen/breakfast room (with all facilities and granite worktops), family room, utility, and 2 downstairs W.C.\‘s. Accommodation of the PROPOSED house will consist of entrance hall, family room, kitchen, utility room, dining room, sitting room, downstairs cloak room, staircase to the first floor landing, four bedrooms (all with en-suite bathrooms to beds 1,2,3 & en-suite shower room to bedroom 4), and further staircase to the second floor where there is a further 5th bedroom (which also features an en-suite shower room). The new house would have an approximate floor area of 228 sq.metres (2454 sq.feet), and has been sited and positioned to maintain privacy for both the original house (Woodlands), and the new house.Other features will include an extended lawn area and terraces providing outside space for entertaining. Planting and fencing on the north side of the property will provide screening from the one other property (the original house \‘Woodlands). A huge amount of work has been carried out by Graham Jenkins & Associates, to ensure that the house will be sympathetic to the surrounding area to satisfy the Council Planning office to grant permission for the development, in what is an understandably difficult area to normally achieve planning for a new house. In February 2006 the Test Valley Borough Council issued a Village Design Statement for Chilworth to foster a vibrant community and preserve Chilworth\‘s very special characteristics: its woodland, architecture and village environment, and careful consideration was given to this ethos. The site which is in a heavily wooded area, entailed that other considerations had to be investigated and satisfied included Arborcultural and Ecological appraisals of the area. \"Chilworth is a village in Hampshire, UK, very close to the city of Southampton. Good travel connections and restricted development have led to the village becoming particularly affluent\" (Wikipedia 2015). The vendor is selling the combined building plot and the main house - which may suit a multi generational family who would like the rare opportunity of living in the same vicinity as each other in an exclusive area.
