Set within a generous plot in the sought-after village of Pensford, Westward combines comfortable single-storey living with significant development potential in the heart of the beautiful Chew Valley.<br /><br /> About the Property<br /><br />Situated in the popular village of Pensford, Westward presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established home with the added benefit of planning permission for two additional dwellings within its grounds.<br /><br />The existing bungalow offers well-arranged accommodation, including three bedrooms and separate sitting and dining rooms, while the approved development provides scope to create two further homes within the plot. With the existing property able to remain in place, the site offers an appealing proposition for developers, investors or purchasers looking to explore the potential for multi-generational living.<br /><br />Surrounded by attractive countryside and conveniently positioned for Bristol and Bath, The Orchard combines the appeal of village life with the opportunity to create something further in a desirable Chew Valley location.<br /><br />About the Inside<br /><br />The bungalow offers comfortable accommodation arranged entirely on one level, with a practical layout and clearly defined living and sleeping areas.<br /><br />A central entrance hallway leads to the principal rooms, including a welcoming sitting room and a separate dining room, providing distinct spaces for relaxation and entertaining.

The proposed houses are designed to offer contemporary accommodation, incorporating open-plan living spaces, three bedrooms and a family bathroom, together with private gardens and off-road parking for two vehicles per property.<br /><br />The development has been designed to allow the existing bungalow to remain, retaining its own access and garden. This presents the opportunity to create three individual residential properties within the site, subject to the approved plans and associated conditions.<br /><br />For developers, the scheme offers the prospect of delivering two additional homes in an established village setting. Alternatively, the property may appeal to purchasers looking to accommodate extended family or explore its longer-term investment potential.<br /><br />The combination of an existing dwelling and an approved residential scheme makes The Orchard a particularly versatile opportunity, with scope to suit a range of prospective purchasers.<br /><br />About the Area<br /><br />Pensford is a popular Chew Valley village, ideally situated between Bristol and Bath.
