Cottage
A unique and rare freehold opportunity to acquire a derelict cottage sitting on an approximate 0.39 acre plot or thereabouts backing onto the beautiful Trent and Mersey Canal. Interestingly the cottage has planning permission (Planning reference number CH/17/097) to extend into a three bedroom property and we understand works have already been undertaken by the owners. In our opinion there is potential residential development opportunity for the land to create a single or pair of dwellings subject to obtaining the usual planning consents. Please note the neighbouring property number 69, will retain a small parcel of land that is roughly rectangular in shape that will run up to the canal as the illustration dictates. The cottage is set well back from the road approached via a private driveway that culminates to potentially an extensive parking area with views of the canal. The location is extremely sought after and properties that offers this kind of potential rarely to come the market.
Please be advised that, whilst our joint agent may have conducted an inspection, the auctioneers have not personally inspected the property. Prospective buyers are advised to make a viewing enquiry and any other necessary independent enquiries before placing their bid, as this will be binding.
