The Old Mill, Mill House and Large Garage/Store Backgate Cowbit Spalding PE12 6AP

A Very Interesting Prospective Development Opportunity with Considerable Historical Interest and Potential

______

FOR SALE:

Guide Price - £255,000 Freehold

Subject to Contract

BACKGROUND AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Old Mill property which comprises the former Mill House, Mill, useful Workshop / Garage and grounds, extending in total to approximately 0.38 Acres comes to the market upon instructions from the Executors of J E Little Deceased - the first time it has been offered since 1975 when the last owner, Mr C H Newbon, sold the property, who was the last Miller / Baker who owned the property.

The Mill is Listed and that could well include all of the property and it falls within the curtilage of The Mill and, therefore, all interested parties must make their own specific enquiries over the Listing status and how this may affect their proposed use of the rema inder of the property, both in its present form and if it is to be further developed.

It is located on the west side of Backgate close to the junction with Stonegate, close to the centre of the expanding village of Cowbit which offers local facilities including Church, Primary School and Village Shop. It is conveniently located some 4 miles south of Spalding with very easy access to the A16 and direct route south to the Expansion City of Peterborough.

Spalding offers excellent local facilities and amenities, including education, retail, banking, leisure and sporting, and also has a rail connection, both to Peterborough to the south ( Kings Cross – minimum journey from Peterborough 45 minutes), and to the north via to Doncaster.

THE OPPORTUNITY The offering of this property provides an unusual opportunity to acquire a varied group of buildings for a developmen t / redevelopment opportunity, subject to all necessary Planning and Listed Building Consents.

The Mill House is a rendered brick built property which has suffered from some structural movement, which is readily apparent upon inspection, and therefore, would suggest to be most suitable for a cash purchase. A purchaser will take the property in its present condition - there are no outstanding claims for insurance.

The garage / workshop on the north side and the former Mill offer potential development opportunities and informal pre-application advice has been obtained from the Planning Department of South Holland District Council which has stated :

Conversion of Mill (green hatched area on plan): Yes, I think this is feasible and a good use for the building to retain it long term. The details of a scheme retaining all possible original fabric will be key. Conversion of Outbuilding (blue hatched area on plan): Yes, I think this is acceptable or a sensitive new build replicating the scale and massing and siting of the existing building. The Proposals for New Dwelling Plots (red and yellow hatched areas on plan): This would be likely to have a substantial negative impact upon the setting of the Listed Building and would be likely to be resisted if an application was made in that regard for either proposed plot.

NOTE: A copy of the relevant letter dated 21 June 2018 and plan are available upon request.

Interested parties who may wish to look into the development opportunities for the property must make their own specific and direct enquiries to the Planning Department of South Holland District Council - 01775 761161.

UPLIFT CLAUSE PROVISION If planning consent is granted for an additional residential unit(s) / conversion opportunity, an uplift clause provision will be triggered whereby the then owner will pay to the Vendors, a sum equivalent to the uplift in value as a consequence of the planning consent representing 35% of such uplift for a period of 25 years from the date of completion of this sale.

ENFORCEMENT ACTION The previous owner replaced some windows in the former Mill building with modern upvc double glazed units which is contrary to the Listing Status and has invoked Enforcement action. The relevant Department of South Holland District Council have been advised that the property is now on the market and has agreed that the responsibility for the works that will be required to replace such window units with compliant traditional units will be passed on to the purchaser. Further details regarding this are available from the Agents but all parties proceeding must be clear on this element of responsibility.

ACCESS Whilst access is easily available to the House, the Garage / Workshop and to the ground and first floors of The Mill, access to The Mill at any time must be only at risk and no access is available above first floor level. All parties entering any part of the property do so entirely at their own risk and must take such care as they consider appropriate to ensure their own safety.
