Property description

BENEFITING FROM PLANNING APPROVAL GRANTED FOR A LOFT CONVERSION - TO CREATE A 4/5 BEDROOM HOUSE - PLUS POTENTIAL FOR 2 PARALLEL OFF-STREET VEHICLE PARKING SPACES!

A rarely available 3 (2 double) bedroom semi-detached house located in the ever popular and in high demand Jeans Way, Dunstable, very close to the park (Kingsbury Park). The house benefits from the granting of planning approval for a Loft Conversion to create a huge 4th master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, or alternatively 2 smaller (single) 4th and 5th bedrooms plus a communal shower room. Furthermore, the local planning authority (Central Bedfordshire Council) have confirmed in writing that consent would be granted for 2 parallel - i.e. side by side - off-street vehicle parking spaces. This house therefore really is a must see!

The property does require a degree of internal cosmetic modernisation and so would ideally suit a purchaser looking for either a minor development project to create a wonderful large 4/5 bedroom family home, or a buy-to-let investor as it is currently let to a family (of very decent and reliable tenants) who would be happy to continue residing there on a long-term basis if it was purchased by a landlord who wanted to inherit them as tenants.

Loft Conversion
An application for a Certificate of Lawful Development approval for a Loft Conversion was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council under Application Ref. CB/14/02608/LDCP on 11 August 2014 to create a huge master bedroom measuring 5.8m max x 5.1m with a window to the rear aspect and 2 skylight windows to the front aspect plus an en-suite shower room measuring 1.8m x 1.7m with a window to the rear aspect. Alternatively 2 smaller 4th and 5th bedrooms measuring 5.4m x 2.3m with 2 skylight windows to the front aspect and 5.0m x 2.8m with a window to the rear aspect respectively could be created simply by partitioning the master bedroom with a stud wall as shown on the 6th enclosed floorplan. Please refer to the existing and proposed floorplans and the Certificate of Lawful Development, all as enclosed. Further information and documentation can be provided upon request.

Off-Street Vehicle Parking
Central Bedfordshire Council have confirmed in writing that they have no objection to the installation of a double-width vehicle carriage crossing/crossover to facilitate the creation of 2 parallel off-street vehicle parking spaces in the front garden area of the property, following removal of the existing hedge and demolition of the existing brick wall. Further information and documentation can be provided upon request.

Existing Tenancy
We are advised by the vendor that the current tenants are no longer within the initial fixed term period of their Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and thus are only subject to 2 months' written notice should the property be purchased by an owner-occupier and not a buy-to-let investor wishing to inherit them as tenants. Further information and documentation can be provided upon request.

Other
We are advised by the vendor that the large side garden area and existing attached garage to the left of the property (as you face it from the front) are not included within the sale. The existing garage will be demolished and a 1.8m high close boarded fence will be erected (following an agreed sale and prior to a completion of contracts) continuing the line of the flank wall to enclose the rear garden area to be retained within the title of the existing property. The vendor then intends to have another (detached) property constructed within that side garden area. However, there will be a minimum of a 1.0m wide gap between the existing property and the proposed new property - ensuring that the existing property remains a semi-detached house - and a minimum 1.0m wide pathway will exist between the two properties providing the occupants of the existing property with pedestrian access to the rear garden area to be retained within the title of the existing property. Interested parties should take all of this into consideration accordingly. Further information and documentation can be provided upon request.
