Development Opportunity
- Approved Application: Planning permission has been granted by the local council under reference number APP/D3640/W/17/3173375 (SU/16/0681), allowing for the construction of a 69-bedroom care home, designed as a 3-storey and part 4-storey building.
- Development Flexibility: Buyers have the option to either include the care home development in the purchase or divide the estate. This allows for the purchase of the main residence with 5 acres of land while selling off the remaining 7 acres for the care home development. This flexibility makes it attractive for both investors seeking development opportunities and buyers looking for a private estate.
- Maximizing Value: Developing the 69-bedroom care home offers the most lucrative opportunity, especially considering the demand for care facilities in prime locations like Bagshot. Acquiring just the development site will significantly reduce the overall purchase price and ongoing property taxes and maintenance obligations for the buyer.
- Alternative Option: For those interested in the entire estate, the historic mansion presents opportunities to further enhance its value. Converting multifunction rooms into additional bedrooms and reconfiguring the first-floor layout to add more bedrooms and bathrooms would significantly increase its rental income capabilites.
- Area Development: Bagshot and surrounding areas have seen steady development due to their accessibility to London and the expansion of local infrastructure. Gentrification in nearby towns like Ascot and continued improvements in transportation links will likely lead to increased demand and property appreciation.
