SUBSTANTIAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR EIGHT DWELLINGS

Former Tantons Hotel, New Road, Bideford, Devon, EX39 2HR
Sold £122,000

A superb residential redevelopment opportunity being part of the former Tantons Hotel enjoying a full-on river view benefitting from planning approval via two separate consents for a total of eight dwellings in the form of five flats and three town houses.

The current overall ‘change of use’ scheme is likely to catch the attention of the development community in its own right. However, with an early 2016 approval (now lapsed) permitting actual demolition of part of the property to create the five flats there is the potential, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable, to successfully pursue this course of action again or perhaps across the entire property so as to increase the density.

Proposed Accommodation

By reference to the main photograph, the left hand portion of the property comprises three town houses each having:

Ground Floor

Entrance hall and stairs up.

First Floor

Large kitchen/utility/family room.

Second Floor

Two double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities.

Outside

At first floor level there is a shared balcony with glorious river views from the front elevation along with shared outside space at the rear.

By reference to the photograph, the right hand portion of the property comprises:-

Ground Floor

Two bedroom flat.

First Floor

One bedroom flat and two bedroom flat.

Second Floor

One bedroom flat and two bedroom flat.
