Description

This three-bedroom property offers an intriguing opportunity for renovation or redevelopment on a substantial 0.44-acre plot. Currently comprising approximately 1802 square feet of living space, this detached home features a non-standard timber construction, making it available only to cash buyers. The site is set in a quiet cul-de-sac off Nags Head Lane, emphasizing its potential for transformation. The existing structure may require significant updates but holds promise for those interested in creating a modern dwelling that aligns with surrounding residential developments. With all main services connected and no overage clause or clawback covenant associated with the land, the buyer will find themselves with considerable freedom to explore various redevelopment options, subject to planning approval. This property has been cherished by the same family since the mid-1950s and has offered versatility over the years, accommodating everything from livestock to vehicle storage. The spacious grounds include an extensive front garden and an "in-and-out" driveway that provides ample parking. Additionally, there's convenient access to the rear of the property where a sizable pole barn of approximately 1322 square feet stands. The layout includes two downstairs bedrooms and a shower room with dual shower heads, complemented by a kitchen overlooking the garden and a separate utility room. A roomy living/dining area creates inviting spaces for relaxation and family gatherings. An additional bedroom is found upstairs, offering further flexibility for use as an office or guest room. Situated roughly two miles from Brentwood High Street and close to major transport links like the A12 and M25, this semi-rural property benefits from both proximity to urban conveniences and the tranquility of its cul-de-sac setting. Its well-established grounds provide plenty of potential for expansion or landscape enhancement while serving as temporary accommodation during any planning or construction phases. This property embodies a unique investment prospect in a desirable location that supports both residential and mixed-use development.
