THE BUNGALOW

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The property occupies a substantial 0.5 acre mature plot with extensive gardens and grounds surrounding the bungalow.

The generous plot offers considerable scope for landscaping and further improvement, subject to any necessary consents.
OVERAGE CLAUSE
The property shall be sold with an overage clause for a period of 25 years capturing 50% of any uplift in value attributable to a planning permission granting residential development for more than one dwelling and any other development for any other purpose which results in an increase in value once planning permission is obtained. For the avoidance of doubt the overage will not be triggered on the knock down of the existing bungalow and erection of a single replacement dwelling with a garage or 'dependant relative accommodation' and equestrian use.
