Welsh Wonder for auction this week

Just the one property today that I'm going to talk about.... quite a lot!  It's for auction this Thursday, and may at first glance appear to be primarily for the builders and developers out there, but has such varied potential that there may be a few others as intrigued as I am by the possibilities that come with a project property/development opportunity such as this one. It really is a very unique, rare, and unusual opportunity in this very pretty Welsh setting. So, set your imagination loose and lets take a closer look...

I have to say that on first glancing at the exterior images of this property, it was thoughts of Thunderbirds and Iron Man that initially came to mind thanks to the fab exterior. This wonderful and striking executive stype property is set in an elevated position with stunning valley views, and there is certainly no shortage of windows from which to take advantage of the pretty setting! Having a plot of 1.45 acres, the gardens are in good proportion to such a large executive style property, boasting a good variety of shrubs, lawned areas and ornamental features.

Now, before we take a peek inside, this is a good point to pause and have a look at the planning permission. As I have said, this is very well suited to builders and developers given the scale of the work involved... but bear with me, as there are a variety of potential uses and outcomes for this one, with or without the additional development works suggested...

The outline planning permission granted is for the erection of 4 detached dwellings on the site, making this a property with significant future potential as a letting investment, or business opportunity if used as a B&B, hotel, or holiday lets. So, while perhaps not a project for the novice/amateur, this is still something that will appeal to those brave souls seeking to fulfill their dream of creating and running a hotel/B&B, as long as they are willing to take on the extent of the development work involved.

Equally I'd imagine there may be charities or organisations out there who would also express interest in the end result of these development works. A property such as this one post-development would be incredibly well suited to a variety of respite or residential care uses, or even perhaps for a supported living environment? The possibilities really are quite extensive for this unusual opportunity. It could also potentially be re-purposed as some kind of retreat, appealing to a wide range of potential customers such as artists seeking a holiday that comes with stunning views, or those seeking pampering in a relaxing and pretty setting.

The possibilities don't just stop there though.... this 7 bedroom executive style property is fantastic in its own right without taking the planning permission into account. So let's take a look inside and see what it has to offer for those owner occupiers seeking a project property they can mould and shape into an ideal family home...

Having undergone significant updating, and substantial extension, there is still more to be done before the improvement works in this remarkable property are complete. From what we can see in the internal images, the kitchen at least appears to be completed, but elsewhere there is a lot of finishing work required to complete the rooms. There are several areas of accommodation mentioned including potential sun room/swimming pool plus changing rooms, games room, storage room and workshop, all of which will require finishing works... but what a property this will be on completion!!

The substantial workshop/garage area makes this an ideal living workplace, and would be well suited to a large variety of pursuits and occupations. As a project property for the owner occupier, this is a perfect opportunity to step in at a stage where the bulk of the building and development work is now completed, and primarily the rooms need finishing and polishing work done. Yes, it is still a very big job, but definitely achievable, and with such wonderfully proportioned rooms, often with higher than average ceilings, and extensive windows throughout giving the interior a light, airy, and spacious feel.

So, what do you think? I absolutely love this one, and the possibilities really are endless for such a flexible property and development opportunity. There's an end result for everybody with this one:

Developers and builders can jump right in there, take advantage of the planning permission, and have themselves a profitable development opportunity with very good potential profit from reselling on completion of the works.

Investors, organisations, and those interested in the future business prospects can look to take on the works and development with the intention to benefit from the ongoing income potential once work is complete.

And last, but definitely not least, the brave owner occupier willing to take on a large project property of this scale could easily ignore the planning permission and instead look to complete the current improvement works so as to have a 7 bedroom executive style blank canvas of epic proportions on which to make their mark and mould their dream home...

Oh, and if any of you want to let your imagination loose and pretend it's a Thunderbirds base, Iron Man plush pad, or home to whatever superhero you most love, or feel most akin to? Go for it! I know I would LOL :-D

Whoever is the lucky owner when the hammer falls on this one will be getting an amazing opportunity that is very unique, very profitable, and an epic blank canvas. It's hard to call this one. I'm not quite sure which buyer group this one will appeal to most given the extent of varied end results. But I'm certainly intrigued by it, and hope you have as much fun as I have imagining the possibilities for this quirky property :-)
