Read the full agent description

A rare and exciting investment opportunity. This substantial detached property offers excellent potential for conversion into six self-contained one-bedroom apartments (subject to planning). Ideal for developers or buy-to-let investors, the generous internal layout lends itself perfectly to redevelopment, with the potential to generate an impressive rental yield once complete.

Set on a large plot, the property benefits from secure gated access and offers ample space for off-road parking—a huge advantage for future tenants. Located within walking distance of the local hospital and train station, the property is ideally positioned to attract professional tenants seeking convenient access to both work and transport links.

Whether you’re looking to expand your portfolio or begin a new development project, this property combines space, location, and yield potential, making it a smart and rare opportunity. Offered with no onward chain.
