Potterspury
Woods Lane, Potterspury, Northamptonshire
This was the side garden of a semi-detached home on a large corner plot. The owners’ children had left home and they never used the side garden.
Spelman Developments received a planning consent for a three bedroom detached cottage and sold the finished house to a family from the village. The owner was happy with this unexpected gain which, since this was their principle residence, was not subject to capital gains tax (CGT).
