Budleigh Salterton - Furzedene, 7 West Hill Road
Furzedene is a large detached Edwardian house set in approximately one acre of grounds flanked by mature trees and hedging. It is largely concealed from West Hill Lane due to the topography and tree and shrub screening. It is located in a conservation area not far from the town centre with a relatively level walk from the property east along West Hill Lane where the footpath joins Little Knowle Road and this links with a pavement at the junction with the main road into town.
Planning permission has been granted by East Devon District Council to provide division of Furzedene House horizontally into three apartments and for 3 new build building plots within the grounds for 3 houses. There may be scope to convert the main house into 4 large apartments (subject to the requisite consents) by splitting the lower ground and ground floors into two apartments rather than the currently approved one large duplex unit.
Each apartment has a dedicated parking area and there is ample space for visitor parking. Access to Furzedene for vehicles and pedestrians is via a gravelled drive from the main entrance in West Hill Lane, there is also a separate entrance for pedestrians.
PLANNING - East Devon District Council granted Planning Permission (Ref.16/1998/FUL) for the existing four-storey dwelling to be subdivided into 3 apartments with the addition of 3 new dwellings to form a courtyard development around the existing house on 20th June 2017.
The method of sale is flexible, and although the owner’s preference would be to either retain plot E or both plots D and E (the two western plots) for herself, offers are invited. Consideration would be given to offers for the whole property or the main house and the Coach House plot to the east of the house, or to include plot D in the north west corner of the site. Consideration may also be given to offers for the whole with either a build contract or joint venture arrangement of some form whereby the owner retains the eventual house on plot E with a sum of cash up front.
