Plot for sale

A unique property which makes a ideal retirement home or dream home development having Full Planning Permission approved for demolition and replacement of the existing dwelling with an impressive architect-designed contemporary house (ext.to around 220 sqm / 2368 sqft) enjoying super elevated views over undulating countryside, yet convenient to Oswestry and the A5 trunk road.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Bank House, Craigllwyn, near Oswestry, for sale by private treaty.

Bank House is a unique property which makes a ideal retirement home or dream home development having Full Planning Permission approved for demolition and replacement of the existing dwelling with an impressive architect-designed contemporary house (ext.to around 220 sqm / 2368 sqft) enjoying super elevated views over undulating countryside, yet convenient to Oswestry and the A5 trunk road.

The existing structure comprises a post-war, pre-fabricated 2/3 bedroom detached bungalow which has been externally clad in timber and extends to just over 1200 sqft. The windows and doors are predominantly double glazed and the internal condition offers potential for improvement.

The site's topography gently slopes in a southerly direction, with the existing building strategically placed on a brick plinth at the highest point, providing
stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

The proposed dwelling has been carefully planned to maximise natural light exposure and to offer views of the surrounding countryside,

Internally, the property features a spacious open-plan living area that spans east to west across the site. This central space is designed with a vaulted ceiling and will
showcase exposed oak trusses. Access to the garden is accessed through three sets of glazed sliding doors, which also serve to frame and maximise views of the
surrounding countryside. On the ground floor, in addition to the main living area, the design incorporates two bedrooms, a home office, a bathroom, and various ancillary spaces to enhance the home's overall functionality.

The second floor is thoughtfully designed to nestle within the eaves, limiting the building's overall height. This upper level houses a master bedroom suite and an additional double bedroom. A distinctive feature of the master-suite is its glazed gable end, specifically incorporated to capture and highlight the panoramic views of
the countryside.

The sale of Bank House does, therefore, provide a unique opportunity for two varying types of buyer; those looking for a reasonably priced detached bungalow in the country and those looking for their very own 'grand design project'. Whichever option is preferred, the position of the dwelling and the elevated views are quite superb.
