Description

This freehold vacant detached cottage, sitting on approximately 1.88 acres of land, presents a unique opportunity for investors or developers. With planning permission already granted by Epping Forest District Council for the demolition of the existing house and related outbuildings, this site is primed for transformation into a new single self-build dwelling with an impressive proposed accommodation of five bedrooms spread across around 4,198 sq ft. The property features a living room, three bedrooms, a kitchen/diner, study/utility room, and bathroom on the ground floor alongside an additional two bedrooms on the first floor. The exterior includes front, side, and rear gardens as well as stables and workshops. Located near Stapleford Abbotts Village and within reach of Central Line train links to London and key amenities in Epping & Theydon Bois, it offers both potential for immediate renovation or complete redevelopment to maximize its value. The expansive land could also allow for further development opportunities pending necessary consents.
