Description

This semi-detached countryside home presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and modernisation, situated on a generous plot of approximately 0.25 acres in the picturesque Essex countryside. The property offers stunning views across open farmland and is being sold with no onward chain, making it an ideal prospect for buyers eager to create their dream home. The ground floor features a kitchen, a family bathroom, a separate WC, an inner hallway, a dining room, and a rear-facing living room. Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms, each benefiting from the beautiful countryside views. The exterior includes a courtyard garden with a brick-built storage shed, along with a substantial undeveloped garden area that provides a blank canvas for landscaping or potential extensions, subject to necessary planning permissions. With its attractive location, ample plot size, and significant scope for improvement, this property represents a rare opportunity in a sought-after rural setting. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the potential this home has to offer.

Confidence: LOW

This semi-detached countryside home presents a significant renovation opportunity on a generous 0.25-acre plot, boasting beautiful views across open farmland. The property is in dated condition, requiring substantial improvement throughout, which allows for a creative canvas to modernise and expand (subject to planning permissions). The large garden space offers potential for landscaping and outdoor entertaining, making it ideal for those looking to craft their dream home in a picturesque rural setting.

While the property is priced at £325,000, the absence of usable floor area data means we can't assess its value against local £/sqf averages just yet. However, with a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £200,000, this presents a serious project for buyers ready to undertake a full-gut programme. The dated condition is evident in the kitchen and bathroom, and general wear and tear observed throughout suggests that significant work is needed.

Key opportunities

  • Generous 0.25-acre plot offers potential for landscaping and outdoor entertaining.
  • Stunning countryside views provide a serene backdrop for modernisation.
  • Scope to reconfigure the interior layout and expand the property (STPP).

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
