A charming five bedroom detached house offering stunning city vistas, private garden, off-street parking and garage, with potential for further development
This charming property offers a fantastic opportunity for both the family or the investor. With extensive living spaces and development potential for both the entire basement and the eaves spaces on the upper floor, not forgetting the land plot with granted planning approval (please see details below) for a separate home, this property has yet to realise its full potential.
An inviting porch accesses a south facing conservatory and also leads through an entrance hall to the spacious main hall. From here, access is readily provided to the principal accommodations. The entrance hall doubles as a boot room and also offers convenient access to a WC.
On the ground floor sits a well-appointed dining/kitchen with garden access and a laundry room and boot room adjoined. The social and well-laid out space provides an excellent hub for culinary activities. The spacious living room houses a working gas fire and a large east facing bay window that draws in natural light all year round.
Four comfortable bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, two of which offer built in storage cupboards and another with a working gas fire. Orientation-wise, bedrooms one and four face west, offering serene sunset views, while bedroom two benefits from an east-facing aspect and bedroom three enjoys a sunny southern exposure. To service these, is a well-equipped bathroom and a separate shower room.
The stairs ascend from the east side of the ground floor to reach the first floor, where the fifth bedroom and a large versatile family room are situated. The bedroom offers magnificent views over the city due to it vantage point. Ample storage space is provided in the eaves.
The expansive basement offers tremendous potential for development, already equipped with running water and electricity, it is accessed via an external side door and spans 167 square meters.
Externally, the beautiful east and west facing gardens are ideal for outdoor relaxation and entertainment.
A well-maintained and secure garage provides parking, alongside additional parking on the driveway. The garage currently serves as a flexible space, utilized as a gym (fully functioning with professional flooring).
Detailed floorplan information is available, providing a breakdown of the square footage of each footprint.
The new building plot: (alternately see 'Garden Plot, 167 Braid Road' listing on Savills website)
Planning permission (Ref. No: 23/00621/FUL) has been granted following an application by Henderson Drollinger Architects.
The proposals are for the sub-division of existing garden ground to create a new building plot formed by establishing a boundary line running roughly from east to west, separating off the northern corner of the site.
The new plot will equate to roughly 25% of the overall site area and creates a generously proportioned site of around 560 sq meters, with the gross internal floor area of the house spanning 158 sq meters.
The proposed new house will be partially set into the slope of the site, designed so that no part will project above eye-level of someone on the ground floor of the existing house.
