Description

This detached family residence is set on a substantial plot of approximately 2.5 acres and includes a variety of versatile outbuildings, presenting significant refurbishment potential for the discerning buyer. The main house offers around 2,210 sq ft of living space, complemented by an additional 1,790 sq ft from outbuildings, allowing for creative redevelopment possibilities. Upon entry, the welcoming hallway leads to three distinct reception areas: a snug and a formal sitting room at the front and a spacious dining area with an adjoining conservatory at the rear, creating ample space for both relaxation and entertainment. The kitchen/breakfast area is functional but could benefit from modernization alongside adjacent utility and cloakroom facilities. The first floor houses five generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own dressing room, making it perfect for families needing flexibility in their living arrangements. The existing family bathroom is well-appointed but holds potential for updates. Externally, the property boasts impressive grounds filled with mature gardens and diverse wildlife areas including hedging and pond features. The extensive outbuildings include three garages and workshops that could be transformed into home offices, gyms, or guest accommodations (subject to necessary permissions). With established border hedging providing privacy and a large paddock suitable for various uses, this property offers unique opportunities for those looking to invest in lifestyle enhancements or rental potential. Conveniently located near transport links to London and local amenities in Chelmsford and surrounding villages, this property stands as an excellent investment opportunity in a desirable semi-rural location.
