Occupying a highly convenient location close to the heart of Chellaston, this large attractive double fronted detached property is sold with many original features and also having the benefit of gas fired central heating and double glazing, represents an excellent opportunity either as a substantial family home with significant potential for further extensions as it occupies a large quarter of an acre plot or indeed an excellent development opportunity as the land has the benefit of planning permission for both residential development and also a residential care home.

The property briefly comprises entrance hall, lounge, dining room, large living kitchen, pantry, rear entrance hall and laundry room; to the first floor there is a galleried landing leading to a master bedroom with en-suite shower, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.  the property enjoys a large garden setting.

The site has a frontage to Swarkestone Road of approximately 23 metres and a depth of approximately 44 metres having an overall site area of 1,012 metres squared or thereabouts (0.25 acres).

Planning Permission

Planning was approved in 2002 under code reference DER/09/02/01287/PRI which provided for extensions, alterations and change of use of the dwelling to form a residential care home.  A copy of the planning permission is attached to these particulars of sale.

Please Note

Although  this approval was dated 5^th September 2002 and ordinarily this would mean that the permission had expired, certain works were carried out to the access to the site prior to the 5 year expiry date and therefore the development is deemed to have commenced and as such the planning permission is still valid.  Documentary evidence proving this is available if required.

More recently (June 2007) a proposal for the demolition of the dwelling house and erection of 11 apartments was approved under code number DER/06/07/01205/PRI.  This was an outline application and in granting the permission the Council made it a condition that the number of apartments would still need to be approved as a reserved matter.  They verbally suggested that 9 apartments would be more likely to be favourably considered rather than the 11.

This interesting development opportunity clearly has a number of avenues which could be explored and it is also considered that possibly a different form of residential development may be deemed appropriate.  Clearly this would be subject to a new application.

Chellaston is a very popular suburb of Derby with an excellent range of amenities available locally.  The A50 southern Derby by-pass is within less than a quarter of a mile

Of the property and provides swift onward travel to the east and west.  Derby City centre is approximately 5 miles to the north offering a broad range of facilities.
