Description

This property presents a unique investment opportunity within the idyllic village of Theydon Bois, Essex. The site currently houses a single dwelling and has obtained planning permission for the construction of two new residential units, including one well-designed four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow spanning approximately 2,012 sq ft. The approved design provides a modern living space that appeals to contemporary family needs while ensuring marketability and sustainable value over time. An attractive feature of this development is the cost-sharing arrangement concerning the demolition of the existing property, which will be conducted concurrently with the construction of both new units. This cooperative approach allows for efficiencies in project management, procurement, and scheduling, ultimately streamlining construction timeframes and costs. Nestled on the perimeter of Epping Forest, Theydon Bois boasts excellent transport links to central London via Theydon Bois tube station and easy access to major motorways. The village complements its serene environment with a vibrant community atmosphere featuring independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs. Its proximity to reputable schools and beautiful countryside enhances its desirability as a residential area. This ready-to-develop plot offers exceptional potential for developers or investors keen on capitalizing on the high demand for quality housing in this sought-after locality. With planning fully in place and shared demolition costs, this project stands poised for a smooth execution in an attractive setting.
