Description
David Martin is marketing this three-bedroom detached bungalow between Tiptree and Tolleshunt Knights. Its accommodation includes a lounge with an inset log burner, a separate dining room, a fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. A lean-to at the rear provides access to the garden.
Outside, the property has an enclosed front garden, a driveway and a single garage. The rear garden is mainly lawn with shrub borders, a timber shed and an oil storage tank. A further lawned side garden contains greenhouses. Planning permission for a separate dwelling on the side plot was granted previously but has expired, so any future proposal would require the relevant consents. The bungalow and its additional land offer scope for updating and for investigating the site's potential.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This detached bungalow offers a usable starting point with a clear, light-touch refresh: dated finishes and flooring run through several photographed rooms, while the lounge’s brick fireplace and inset stove give it a distinctive feature to build around. The lawned plot, established shrubs, greenhouses, driveway and single garage add to the appeal, and the side land creates scope to explore future options—though the previous permission has expired and any proposal would need fresh planning approval.
At 52/100, this is a weaker overall opportunity rather than a standout on the available numbers. The £565,000 asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing; value remains unassessed on that basis. The indicated £7,000–£15,000 works range suggests a contained refresh, with the main value in improving the presentation and making the most of the plot.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated decoration and patterned flooring across several usable rooms for a more cohesive finish.
- Retain and make a feature of the lounge’s brick fireplace and inset stove.
- Explore how the substantial side plot could be used, subject to fresh planning permission and relevant consents.
Key risks
- The previous permission for a dwelling on the side garden has expired; any future development would require fresh planning verification.
- Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed.
