5 bed detached house for sale

Melbourne Road, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire B61

A Rare Opportunity with Exceptional Development Potential

Occupying a substantial and private plot of approximately one-third of an acre, this impressive and deceptively spacious five-bedroom detached residence presents an outstanding opportunity for families, developers and investors alike. Offering approximately 150 years of history, the property combines generous living accommodation with remarkable flexibility, making it equally suited as a substantial family home or an exciting redevelopment project.

The versatility of this property is one of its defining features. Outline planning permission has already been granted for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of two detached homes. In addition, architectural plans have been prepared for the conversion of the property into four apartments (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent). Alternatively, the existing home offers significant scope for refurbishment, remodelling and extension, or could lend itself to use as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), subject to all relevant consents and regulations.

Accommodation

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers an abundance of flexible living space.

An inviting entrance hallway provides access to the principal reception rooms and benefits from useful built-in storage. The main living room is particularly impressive, extending to over nine metres in length and providing an exceptional space for entertaining or relaxing. A second reception room offers additional family living space, while the spacious kitchen is complemented by a separate formal dining room, creating an ideal setting for family meals and social occasions.

Leading from the kitchen is a practical utility room together with a ground floor bathroom. A further reception room, currently utilised as a home gym, provides excellent versatility and could easily serve as a home office, playroom, snug or additional sitting room depending on individual requirements.

The first floor centres around a spacious landing which leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, offering an impressive sense of space, while the remaining four bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for larger families or visiting guests. A modern shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside

The property is approached via gated access, opening onto a private courtyard-style driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, together with a detached garage offering further flexibility for storage, a workshop, home gym or studio, subject to any necessary permissions.

The generous plot extends to approximately one-third of an acre and represents one of the property's most appealing features. The depth and size of the garden provide exceptional privacy while also offering considerable development potential. The approved outline scheme demonstrates the site's ability to accommodate two detached dwellings, while there remains further scope for alternative redevelopment or extension, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions.

Development Potential

This property offers a wealth of possibilities for purchasers seeking to maximise its potential, including:

Existing outline planning permission for two detached dwellings.
Potential to renovate, modernise and extend the existing residence.
Architectural plans prepared for conversion into four apartments (planning permission not currently granted).
Potential suitability for a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), subject to all necessary permissions and licensing.
Opportunity to create a bespoke family home on a substantial plot.
