Shrublands Close, City Centre, Chelmsford

A building plot with FULL PLANNING GRANTED (20/00075/FUL) to demolish an existing dwelling and create 2x LARGE FOUR BEDROOM DETACHED FAMILY HOMES in a City Centre location - within a short walk to Chelmsford's mainline station and highly regarded schooling! The proposed plans allow for a STYLISH/CONTEMPORARY DESIGN with an impressive 1800sq ft of accommodation and an expected GDV in excess of £1.7m!

Hamilton Piers of Chelmsford are pleased to bring to market this one-off building plot with full planning permission granted, located to the immediate edge of Chelmsford's City Centre - within a short walk to the mainline station (which serves London's Stratford & Liverpool Street within as little as 30 mins!) and very highly regarded schooling - including Chelmsford's grammar schools. The plot is also within easy access of Broomfield Hospital, Stansted Airport and the A12, M25 and M11.

The plot currently consists of a detached dwelling with 1618sq ft of accommodation, a generous garden and ample driveway parking.
The proposed plans allow for the demolition of this dwelling, to create 2x detached homes. Planning reference number via Chelmsford City Council planning website = 20/00075/FUL.

The homes have been planned in an executive/contemporary design to offer spacious and light accommodation over two floors with approximately 1800sq ft of accommodation. The accommodation is proposed to include an entrance hall & cloakroom/wc, spacious lounge to the front aspect, a LARGE OPEN-PLAN FAMILY ROOM / KITCHEN DINER with full-width glass folding doors overlooking the gardens, a utility room, and FOUR GENEROUSLY-SIZED BEDROOMS - with the slightly larger unit offering TWO EN SUITES! Externally each plot would have ample private driveway parking to the front and a well screened private garden to the rear.

In the agent's opinion this site offers a developer a very reasonable potential profit margin; with a Gross Domestic Value (for the resale of both units) of around £1,725,000, possibly slightly more, with the larger unit realistically looking to achieve £875,000 and the other £850,000.

We have also been advised there is a CIL tax liability of £27498.87 (which has already been reflected in the marketing price).

Please note: there was also PREVIOUS PLANNING PASSED for a completely different scheme (for demolition of the existing two storey building and construction of a new two storey building comprising 3 x two bedroom apartments and 1 x one bedroom apartment; timber sheds incorporating cycle space; refuse enclosures in rear garden; Front forecourt for 4 cars and planting). Planning ref for that scheme is 17/00351/FUL.

Furthermore, the existing dwelling is currently let on a single Assured Shorthand Tenancy Agreement (AST) to students at £27600 per annum, they have been there for 14 months and are now on a 1 month rolling term - so our seller has advised us the property can be sold vacant or with tenants in situ should the developer not be looking to commence the project immediately.
