Description

A detached bungalow occupying a plot of approximately 0.72 acres, with direct access to Danbury Ridge Nature Reserve and woodland through two gates. The property was formed from two bungalows and offers seven bedrooms, three reception rooms, three conservatories, two kitchens, three bathrooms and a cloakroom. A utility area is attached to one kitchen, and the accommodation is stated to extend to around 3,150 sq ft. The gardens wrap around the buildings and include lawns, shrub beds, mature trees and a small pond. There is a large gravel parking area, access from both sides of the plot and a detached garage described as being in disrepair. The listing identifies potential for a replacement dwelling or more than one property, subject to the necessary planning consents. Planning feasibility would need to be verified. The property is in Little Baddow, within walking distance of Danbury village centre and its shops, cafés, pubs and local services. Chelmsford is approximately five to six miles away, with a mainline station and road links to the A12 and A130. Mains services are available.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £1,000,000, the asking price is about 8.5% below the local average per square foot, making this a relatively inexpensive entry for a substantial detached property. The 0.72-acre plot, extensive grounds and direct gates into nature-reserve woodland are the standout attractions, with scope to refresh the established gardens and make the most of the setting.

The existing buildings are older in style and the detached garage is described as being in disrepair, while the interior condition cannot be judged from the available images. The listing also suggests a replacement dwelling or redevelopment into multiple properties, subject to planning consent, but that potential is unverified. Overall, the strong plot and price position are appealing, though the opportunity scores weakly overall and the redevelopment angle should not be assumed.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at an asking price around 8.5% below the local average per square foot.
  • Make the most of the extensive established grounds, mature trees and direct access to adjoining nature-reserve woodland.
  • Explore the listing’s proposed replacement-dwelling or multi-property redevelopment potential, subject to planning consent and feasibility.

Key risks

  • The detached garage is described as being in disrepair.
  • The redevelopment possibilities are subject to planning consent and remain unverified.
