3 bedroom detached house for sale

A once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a detached bungalow occupying circa 4.6 acres of land situated in an imposing coastal location with panoramic views across Plymouth Sound.


DESCRIPTION
The White House sits in what could possibly be one of the best situations that Plymouth has to offer, commanding panoramic views with a different outlook at each and every way you look. Standing in the centre of the plot and looking towards the South the property overlooks the breakwater and towards the English Channel behind. Facing West is a stunning view of Plymouth Sound and Cornwall’s Rame Peninsula. Turning towards the North is the city of Plymouth, with a direct view of Plymouth Hoe, The Barbican and the city itself. Beyond Plymouth there is also a glimpse of Dartmoor National Park in the distance along with vast local countryside.

The property is being sold with vacant possession and as a potential development opportunity, either demolishing the current dwelling to create a number of bespoke properties in its place or upgrading the current property to an awe inspiring coastal home; subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

A range of buildings can be found at present, including The White House itself, a detached bungalow which dates back to 1935 and has been altered over the years to become two separate dwellings. Next to The White House is a further brick built structure which is also currently occupied as a residential dwelling. To the rear of the bungalow itself is a large commercial building/helicopter hangar.
