Refurbished 3-bed semi with approved plans for an extra 2-bed home, minutes from Epping station.
Approved planning permission for a new 2-bed end-of-terrace dwelling
A rare development plot with income potential sits behind an attractive three-bedroom semi on Centre Drive, a short walk from Epping Central Line. The existing house has been recently refurbished with an open-plan kitchen/diner, separate living room, double garage and generous off-street parking — ready for family occupation or lettings while you complete the approved build. Planning permission has been granted by Epping Forest District Council for a new end-of-terrace two-bedroom home on the plot, making this a straightforward brownfield development opportunity in a well-connected location.
The south-easterly 130' garden and large plot are significant value drivers: they provide scope to extend, divide the land as approved, or create a second dwelling to let or sell. The current property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a modern kitchen; the new-build plans include off-street parking and a comparable rear garden for the proposed two-bed home.
Buyers should note the property’s mid‑20th century system-built construction, with assumed limited wall insulation, and the double glazing was installed prior to 2002. These factors could require further thermal upgrades to meet modern standards. Crime levels are average and council tax is moderate. Overall, this is best suited to an investor or owner-occupier who values immediate rental/occupation potential combined with near-term development upside.
