This 1.1-acre plot presents a noteworthy renovation and investment opportunity, complete with detailed planning consent for the demolition of existing stables and the construction of a four-bedroom detached bungalow. The land, located just outside Great Leighs village, offers both tranquility and accessibility, being approximately 5.5 miles south of Braintree.
Great Leighs features essential amenities such as local pubs, cafes, and a village hall, providing a sense of community while being close to larger urban conveniences. Braintree to the north is home to additional supermarkets and a railway station that connects directly to London Liverpool Street in about an hour. Furthermore, Chelmsford is just 7.5 miles to the south and offers further amenities along with rapid rail connections to London—making this location appealing for commuters and families alike.
The site benefits from established access via School Lane and boasts a relatively flat topography. It currently accommodates stables, a menage, and paddocks, ensuring that the natural landscape can remain untouched during renovations. Surrounding thick hedges and fences provide privacy while offering stunning countryside vistas at the rear—a perfect backdrop for a new home.
Approved planning consent was granted in July 2025 under reference 25/00978/ful by Chelmsford City Council, allowing for the construction of a modern bungalow complete with car parking and outdoor amenities. This makes it an attractive opportunity for those looking to invest in residential development or create their ideal home from the ground up.
