Property description & features

LOCATION
* Total Area Approximately 2.6 Acres (1.05 Hectares) - Outline Planning Consent for 7 Units ( on 0.8 Acres – 0.32 Hectares ) - Very attractive location, close to the historical centre of the village and its amenities. - Only 4 Miles from nearby Spalding and 14 miles from Peterborough *

The property is located close to the historical centre of the village of Cowbit, lying only 3 miles south of Spalding and with easy access via the A16 or Barrier Bank. The property has for many years been owned by the Higham Family and historically it was the village Post Office, General Stores, Petrol Filling Station and a separate cobbler’s shop in the 1920’s and 1930’s. At present it comprises a detached 3 Bedroom house which would require very extensive refurbishment if it was to be retained, together with a semi-detached former cottage which will require demolition to facilitate the proposed new development.

The Land runs to the rear of the house with gardens, paddock and former farm/livestock buildings.

The offering of this property provides an opportunity to create an attractive and individually designed development of residential properties in a very convenient and attractive location. The property is available with the benefit of vacant possession and extends in total to about 2.6 Acres (1.05 Hectares) including the part having the benefit of Planning Consent plus the additional Paddock areas to the rear.

VAT
The vendors have not elected to waive the exemption to tax (opt to tax) and therefore, VAT will not be chargeable in addition to the purchase price.

PLANNING
Outline Planning Consent was granted by South Holland District Council under Application Reference No: H01/0571/22 dated 28th October 2022. The present consent limits the development to not more than 7 dwellings. There are also a number of important conditions which interested parties should research as part of their enquiry process. A copy of the Outline Consent and the original Application can be forwarded upon request. The area of the property being the subject of the Outline Consent extends to about 0.8 Acres (0.32 Hectares).

It should be noted that the Outline Planning Consent obtained relates to part of the site – the rear paddocks were not included in that application/consent.

OTHER
BOUNDARY
It should be noted that the immediate left-hand boundary on viewing the site from the public highway does not quite align on the ground with that shown on the indicative outline planning consent plan. Interested parties should be aware of this as part of their enquiry process.

There is also a public sewer main running across the property which is shown (very approximately and for indicative purposes only) with a dotted brown line on the plan attached to these particulars. Interested parties should research details on these as part of their pre-offer process.

PETROL TANKS
There are some underground former petrol storage tanks just inside the front right-hand boundary. We are advised these petrol tanks were decommissioned by Shell Petroleum when they ceased supplying petrol to the property. The decommissioning was arranged and paid for by Shell. They were decommissioned by being pumped dry and the air space being filled with sand by contractors. We understand that the decommissioning work was undertaken during the early 1970's,

UPLIFT / CLAWBACK PROVISION
Notwithstanding that the present outline consent limits the development to 7No. units on part of the property, should the number of developed properties exceed 7No. in total on any part of the property now being offered for sale, this will be covered by an uplift/clawback provision to be inserted in the sales documentation reflecting that any increase in the numbers above 7No. will be subject to such provision for a period of 25 years and at the rate of 35% of the increase in value, consequent to the additional unit numbers being consented/built.

TENURE
The property has the benefit of Freehold tenure.

POSSESSION
It is offered with the benefit of vacant possession upon completion.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
