DESCRIPTION
A unique opportunity to purchase an attractive Edwardian cottage with adjoining building plot located in the sought-after Wiltshire village of All Cannings in the Pewsey Vale, brought to the market for the first time since 1947. The dwelling was occupied by the same family for 75 years but became vacant in late 2023. 46 The Street comprises a three-bedroom end of terrace red brick cottage with period features, in need of modernisation, set in a large garden.
The initial terrace of three was built in 1905, with a fourth property added to the western end of the terrace more recently. Full planning permission has been granted, and partially implemented, for a fifth dwelling on the eastern end of the terrace, in the garden of No. 46. The consented dwelling comprises a two-bedroom red brick property, in keeping with the remainder of the terrace. The property is available as a whole or in two lots. This sale presents a unique opportunity to create up to two family homes in a desirable village location, or may offer scope to amend the consented design (STP) for a more substantial family home set in a large garden.
LOT 1 – 46 THE STREET
Lot 1, outlined red on the sale plan, comprises 46 The Street, an end of terrace red brick cottage extending to approximately 807 sqft (75 sqm).
On the ground floor, the property comprises entrance hall, family bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and rear porch. On the first floor there are three bedrooms leading from a central landing. The property is in need of modernisation however the roof was repaired, including new tiles, felt and batons around 20 years ago, and a Grant condensing outdoor boiler was installed in November 2011. The property includes original features such as parquet flooring and fireplaces. The majority of wall and floor coverings have been removed to clearly show the structure of the property.
Externally, the property features front and rear gardens, and part of a red brick traditional outbuilding to the rear, used for garden storage. The outbuilding could present a future opportunity to convert to a small home office or similar (STP), as has been done in the adjoining sections of the building. To the front of the property is a gravelled parking area.
LOT 2 – BUILDING PLOT
Lot 2, outlined blue on the sale plan, comprises the building plot with implemented planning permission for a two storey two-bedroom end of terrace red brick dwelling under a clay tile roof. The consented dwelling comprises hallway, lounge, kitchen-diner and WC on the ground floor, with a landing leading to a family bathroom and two bedrooms on the first floor, totalling approximately 856.59 sqft (79.58 sqm). The property includes garden to the side and rear, with the tarmacked driveway and gravelled parking area to the front of the property.
Wiltshire Council granted full planning permission for
Erection of dwelling and formation of vehicular access and parking court on 15
th December 2010. The planning documents can be found on Wiltshire Council’s planning website under reference number E/10/1271/FUL. Conditions 2 (materials), 3 (construction details) and 4 (landscaping) were discharged on 21
st November 2011. The planning permission was implemented in 2013 with installation of the driveway and new access, with evidence sent to and uploaded by Wiltshire Council dated 19
th November 2013. The permission is therefore considered to be “implemented” and permission secured in perpetuity.
