This property presents a vacant freehold detached chalet set within approximately 1.7 acres of mature gardens, offering significant renovation and investment potential. Located near the historic Rayleigh Mount Monument, it benefits from close proximity to Rayleigh High Street and the mainline rail station, making it an attractive option for commuters and families alike.
The entrance features a gated access leading to a long, sweeping drive that enhances the property's curb appeal. The surrounding gardens offer a serene outdoor space, perfect for those looking to create their own private oasis. Noteworthy is the substantial swimming pool complex on-site, which has existing planning permission for conversion into annex accommodation, adding further value and versatility to the property.
Spanning around 389 square meters of living space, the chalet includes four well-sized bedrooms. The layout features multiple reception areas, including a spacious lounge measuring 25'0" x 23'7", a cozy sitting room of 17'0" x 15'1", and an inviting dining room at 16'1" x 12'5". The kitchen/family room (22'0" x 18'9") provides ample space for gatherings or family activities and is complemented by a utility room and boot room. A dedicated pool room (49'0" x 23'9") along with changing facilities further enhances this property's appeal for leisure and entertainment.
Moreover, there are several outbuildings on the premises including a double garage, garden cabin, and stable, offering options for storage or additional development opportunities. The current owners have submitted a planning application to develop portions of the lower garden into two new properties—a significant factor for investors looking to maximize potential returns. For more details regarding this application, references can be made to Rochford District Council Planning Ref 22/00719/FUL.
In summary, this property offers both immediate living potential as well as various avenues for investment through renovation or development in a desirable location.
