Description

Nestled in a serene rural hamlet, this detached home from the 1960s presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a countryside escape. Overlooking picturesque farmland and surrounded by the gentle Essex landscape, the property offers a peaceful yet accessible lifestyle with nearby amenities in Dunmow, Takeley, and Little Canfield including schools, shops, and local dining options. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to walking paths such as the scenic Flitch Way, ideal for leisurely strolls or cycling adventures. The interior is brimming with character and renovation potential. Although it requires modernization, the expansive layout provides flexibility for reconfiguration. There are three reception areas: a cosy lounge featuring a traditional fireplace, a light-filled family room with garden vistas, and a versatile third space suitable for various uses like a dining area or home office. Additionally, a lean-to conservatory offers an inviting spot to enjoy morning sun with possibilities for transformation into an appealing garden room. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances and includes a breakfast nook, offering significant potential to evolve into an open-plan kitchen-diner that caters to contemporary family needs. The property boasts four spacious double bedrooms; two of these have en-suite facilities and overlook the tranquil farmland. Completing the accommodation are a large family bathroom, an additional WC, and a practical utility space. Set on an expansive plot with impressive curb appeal thanks to its sweeping driveway leading to a detached double garage, the south-facing rear garden stands out as an exceptional feature—perfect for entertaining guests or simply enjoying the breathtaking countryside views from one of two patio areas. This property represents a fantastic project for families seeking more space or anyone eager to renovate and personalize their own countryside haven.
