Description

This detached house, steeped in the character of the 1920s, presents a substantial renovation project nestled in a picturesque semi-rural location just north of Castle Hedingham. The property spans approximately 2,708 square feet over two floors and is situated on a generous plot of about 0.8 acres, offering a unique opportunity for cash buyers and developers focused on transforming a classic family home into their vision. Although the existing structure has undergone various modifications over the years, including the addition of a double garage, it is in need of extensive refurbishment due to significant structural issues that preclude mortgage financing. The layout includes a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, expansive dining room, sizeable sitting room, study, and multiple bedrooms on the upper floor, including an en suite principal bedroom and additional bathrooms. However, prospective buyers should note that the property also requires compliance updates to its private drainage system. Surrounded by established greenery and enjoying privacy from neighboring properties, this home is within reach of local amenities in Castle Hedingham—known for its rich history and community spirit—as well as excellent transport links to larger towns and Stansted Airport. This property is ideal for those looking to embark on an ambitious refurbishment or even redevelopment project, pending requisite planning approvals.
