Description

Situated in a serene woodland area of The Ridge in Little Baddow, this property holds significant potential for redevelopment, having received planning permission in November 2025 (Ref: 25/01174/FUL) to expand and modernise the existing structure. Currently, the house spans approximately 2,516 sq ft and offers a variety of living spaces spread over two floors. With a planned transformation into a contemporary family residence exceeding 4,000 sq ft, the new design prioritises sweeping views of the gardens and surrounding woodlands. The envisioned layout includes an impressive entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling, multiple reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining/family area at the rear, along with comprehensive utility and leisure facilities such as a gym. For those looking to move in sooner while considering future renovations, the existing accommodation is functional yet dated, featuring seven bedrooms with provisions for an annex suitable for extended family living. The sizeable detached garage/outbuilding adds further utility. Located near local amenities in Little Baddow and just six miles from Chelmsford's comprehensive facilities—including retail options and transport links—this property represents an attractive investment opportunity within a desirable village setting.
