Your Chance To Buy A Three Bedroom Home AND A Building Plot - All On One Title. A tenanted three bedroom semi-detached house in Whittlesey, offered together with a self-contained building plot at the rear that already has Planning Permission in Principle for a new dwelling. Most people have to choose. You either buy a tenanted house that gives you an immediate rental income, or you buy a plot and start again from scratch. Rarely do you get both on one title, from one owner, at one price. That's what makes Eastrea Road worth a proper look. It's a modern three-bedroom semi-detached home with a long-term tenant already in place, AND a self-contained building plot at the rear with Planning Permission in Principle granted by Fenland District Council for a brand new dwelling. At first glance it's an unassuming semi-detached on Eastrea Road, well positioned for everything Whittlesey offers. The ground floor has a bright entrance hall opening into a long galley kitchen at the back, fitted with warm oak units. The main living space is also off the hallway a generous full-depth lounge diner that runs from the front window right through to the back of the house, nearly 28 feet from end to end. There’s room for a proper dining area at one end and a comfortable sitting area at the other, with soft neutral tones and a feature media wall. It’s a flexible space that suits family meals, relaxing in front of the TV, and setting up a desk for home working.. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a modern white family bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Two are good-sized doubles. The third is a smaller room the tenant currently has a double bed in it. Outside, there is a long private driveway to the front with off-road parking for several cars, leading to a detached garage to the side. The rear garden is substantial, laid to lawn with mature trees and plenty of privacy around the boundary. The garden has real potential as an entertaining space for family and friends, with plenty of room for a new owner (or a family moving in further down the line) to put their own stamp on it. Now for the part that makes this a genuinely interesting opportunity. Planning Permission in Principle has been granted by Fenland District Council under application F/YR26/0026/PIP for the erection of one new dwelling on land to the north of the house, subject to the demolition of the existing garage. The approved application covers part of the current rear garden, giving a self-contained plot alongside a comfortable, usable garden for the existing house. The next step, for anyone wanting to progress, is a Technical Details Consent (full planning) application in line with the Permission in Principle. The vendor has already engaged with Fenland and the full application file is on the council planning portal under reference F/YR26/0026/PIP. Copies of the key documents are available on request. The property is currently tenanted on a long-term let. If you are buying as an investment, you can keep the rent coming in while you progress the Technical Details Consent and bring the plot forward in your own time. If you are a self-builder wanting both a ready-made home and a plot to work on, you have that too. And if you simply want a family home with a long-term project to grow into or pass on, that option is yours from day one. Eastrea Road sits on the Eastrea side of Whittlesey, about a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive from Whittlesey town centre, with its range of local shops, restaurants, the leisure centre and the library. For families, there is a choice of local primary schools and Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated Good by Ofsted) is around a 5 minute walk away. Whittlesey is a lovely, quiet market town that's also well connected. Peterborough is around 20 minutes drive or 10 minutes on the train from Whittlesea station, with East Coast Mainline connections to London King's Cross in around an hour. A property this size, with this kind of combined opportunity, doesn't come along very often. I'm expecting plenty of interest. Get in touch to arrange a viewing.
