Set in the desirable village of Birdham, this 1930's three bedroom detached house offers a rare opportunity for modernisation and potential extension, with existing planning permission in place to create a larger, contemporary family home. The approved plans allow for a two-storey rear extension, enhancing the upper floor with enlarged bedrooms and an en-suite bathroom, while creating a generous open-plan kitchen/sitting room, utility area, and separate family room on the ground floor.
The welcoming entrance hall provides access to the front facing sitting room and the rear dining room, allowing for a natural flow between the principal reception spaces. Adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen provides a practical space with ample space for modernisation to suit a contemporary family lifestyle. Beyond the kitchen, an inner lobby offers a larder cupboard and additional access to storage and utility facilities, whilst a cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the property comprises three bedrooms, all with fitted storage, served by a family bathroom, which, like much of the home, would benefit from modernisation. The existing planning permission offers the potential to significantly expand and enhance both the sleeping and living spaces, creating a home suited to contemporary family life. Alternatively, a more modest refurbishment, without the need for extension, would also be entirely feasible for those seeking a smaller-scale project.
Externally, the property sits on a fully enclosed plot with a predominantly lawned rear garden, providing a private and secure space for children and pets. Off-road driveway parking is available for several vehicles.
Oil-fired central heating ensures the property is comfortably heated throughout, while the traditional character of the 1930's construction provides a strong structural canvas on which to create a contemporary family home. This property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a project with scope to extend, modernise, and make their mark in a popular coastal village setting.
Tobais forms part of a wider development, with planning permission granted for a detached house adjacent and a detached bungalow to the rear.
