5 bedroom house

A substantial detached family home, of some 3,212 square feet, located on a large canal-side plot of approximately 1.34 acres. Full Planning Permission has been granted by West Northamptonshire Council, WNS/2022/1494/FUL, to demolish the existing property and replace it with five new builds, totalling approximately 7,404 square feet. However, the site may lend itself to retaining the house and building alongside, subject to an amendment to the Planning Permission.

COSGROVE
Cosgrove is a village in south Northamptonshire approximately about 2 miles north of Stony Stratford and 7 miles from Milton Keynes and with access to the A508 and the A5. The property is located just a minutes’ walk from the Grand Union Canal and the popular Barley Mow pub/restaurant. The village also has a primary school and Cosgrove Park has a shop open from April to October.

The village is approximately 2 miles from Wolverton station and within 7 miles from Milton Keynes Central station; both offer approximately 30 minutes travelling time to London Euston. The A5 and M1 are within easy reach.

Sporting activities in the area include golf at Silverstone, Whittlebury Hall and Woburn, sailing at Caldecotte Lake, watersports at Willen Lake, indoor skiing and snowboarding at the Snozone in Milton Keynes, and of course motor racing at the world famous Silverstone race circuit.

GROUND FLOOR
The entrance porch opens into the large entrance hall, with cloakroom off. There is a spacious, triple aspect sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/dining room, pantry, WC, utility, annexe kitchen/sitting room and en-suite bedroom.

FIRST FLOOR
The master bedroom boasts an en-suite bathroom, two bedrooms share an en-suite, there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The property occupies a large plot of approximately 1.34 acres, in an enviable position adjacent to the canal in the desirable village of Cosgrove. There is plentiful off-road parking, a double garage, a former tennis court and large, level lawned garden.

Whilst Planning Permission has been granted for demolition and replacement with five new houses, Colmwood House is a fantastic family home and could continue to be so, there could be merit in construction of a second/several properties adjacent (subject to Planning Permission).

AGENTS NOTE
The development, if undertaken, is liable to Community Infrastructure Levy, (CIL).

It is the vendors’ intention to insert a Development Uplift Clause: “In the event that Planning Permission is granted, for a total of more than 7.404 square feet of property on the site, then 30% of the uplift in value will be payable to the vendors, over the next 25 years.”

For clarification of any of these points, please speak to the Sole Agents, Howkins & Harrison.
