Description
This converted former church stands in a semi-rural setting near Dunton, on grounds of just over an acre. Its two-storey accommodation includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with a dining hall, separate living room, study and family room. Two staircases serve the upper floors, and original architectural details remain throughout.
The property is described as requiring modernisation and remodelling, offering scope for a purchaser to reconsider the accommodation and finishes. The grounds provide substantial outdoor space. The agent notes that subsidence has occurred in the kitchen and bathroom; further details should be obtained before proceeding.
The A127 is approximately one mile away, while Laindon and West Horndon stations are both around two miles away, with c2c services to London Fenchurch Street. Local amenities are available in Laindon and Basildon, and Brentwood is also within reach. Langdon Nature Discovery Park is nearby.

76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £900,000, this distinctive converted church is priced at about £396 per sq ft, around 19.6% below the local average—a compelling entry point for a buyer looking to create value. Its original church detailing, generous multi-room layout and grounds of just over an acre give the project real character and room to make it your own.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen and living spaces while retaining and highlighting the exposed brickwork, leaded windows and distinctive church detailing.
- Make the most of the versatile layout and two staircases; explore any reconfiguration only after checking feasibility.
- Enjoy the extensive, mostly grassed grounds and mature trees, which offer a distinctive setting for the property.
Key risks
- The agent reports subsidence in the kitchen and bathroom; establish the history, extent and any required remedial work before proceeding.
- The roof coverings show visible age and discolouration, so their condition should be inspected.
