Nestled on the periphery of a small cluster of homes at Lodge Farm, this semi-detached property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Overlooking National Trust common land, the setting is both tranquil and scenic, providing an appealing backdrop for those looking to make improvements or adaptations.
The residence features four bedrooms, making it suitable for families or as a buy-to-let option. While the property does require modernisation and refurbishment, its layout provides a strong foundation for any renovation plans. The ground floor includes a kitchen diner, lounge, utility room, and bathroom, while the first floor hosts all four bedrooms. With approximately 88 sqm (947 sqft) of internal space according to the EPC assessment, there's ample room for creative redesign.
Bishop's Stortford is just about three miles away, offering mainline train access at both Sawbridgeworth and Bishop's Stortford stations. This connectivity provides easy commutes to London and Cambridge, enhancing the property's appeal to potential renters or future buyers. For families, there are excellent educational facilities nearby with outstanding Ofsted ratings across various age groups.
The outdoor area includes off-street parking and a garden surrounded by mature hedges, ensuring privacy while also providing potential space for landscaping improvements or outdoor living enhancements. A notable feature of this property is the substantial brick garage and store—approximately 64.4 sqm (693 sqft)—which could serve as an ideal candidate for conversion into a home office, studio, or annex with appropriate planning permissions.
Regarding services, prospective buyers will find existing electric and water connections. Notably, the foul drainage is currently shared with an adjoining dwelling; future owners will need to install a new septic tank within their boundary but will benefit from shared costs with their neighbor.
Access to the property occurs over National Trust land; thus, potential buyers should consider maintenance responsibilities associated with this arrangement. Additional rights may be applicable regarding service installations on adjacent properties if required.
This freehold property comes offered with vacant possession upon completion—a blank canvas awaiting vision and execution from its new owner. Given its renovation potential in conjunction with location benefits like transport links and local amenities, it represents an intriguing prospect for those looking to invest in property development or create a personalized family home.
