This property in Burton Overy, Leicestershire, presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to combine countryside living with potential for significant renovation and expansion. The existing dwelling is a three-bedroom house with two bathrooms on a sizable plot. The significant advantage is the approved planning permission for a substantial extension and remodelling to create a six-bedroom residence, transforming the property into a considerably larger and more modern home. This has the potential to greatly increase its value.

The current state of the property suggests that a significant amount of work is required before it becomes a comfortable family home. While structurally sound, the exterior landscaping and the overall appearance of the house indicate a need for renovation and modernisation, both inside and out. The photos show mature trees and established vegetation on the substantial plot, highlighting the significant potential for landscaping and creating a beautiful garden space. The approved plans provide detailed illustrations of the proposed remodelling, creating a contemporary six-bedroom property with ample living space.

The location offers a quiet, countryside environment with access to schools, albeit with varying Ofsted ratings. Transport links are not discussed in the information provided. The price point, £650,000, positions it within the range of comparable properties in the region, which are typically detached homes. Therefore, although the price of other properties is not provided, based on the property’s condition, size, and the future potential, it is reasonable.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
