Available for the first time in over 90 years, this 1930s detached home sits on an impressive 1.7-acre plot in Pilgrims Hatch, Brentwood. The existing house offers two reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, downstairs WC, four bedrooms and a family bathroom — a solid base for refurbishment or reconfiguration.
The site will particularly appeal to developers or buyers seeking a substantial private garden and redevelopment potential. Planning for three replacement dwellings was recently refused, but there have been indications that consent for two replacement dwellings might be achievable. Alternatively, the house could be modernised and extended to create a generous family home or multi-generational arrangement.
Practical details are straightforward: freehold tenure, off-street parking and a detached garage. The property requires renovation and updating throughout, offering scope to add value but also meaning there will be immediate repair and refurbishment costs. Local amenities, highly regarded schools and low crime levels add to the site's attraction.
Buyers should note the recent planning refusal and the building’s need for modernisation — both material factors that influence cost, timescale and feasibility. For purchasers prepared to undertake works or navigate planning, this is a rare, large-plot opportunity in a very affluent neighbourhood.
