Online auction sale with six-week completion
Offered for sale by online auction with a six-week completion, this vacant four-bedroom detached house sits on an unusually large plot of about 0.46 acres in a quiet Rectory Meadow cul-de-sac. The property has clear appeal for builders, developers and buyers seeking a substantial house to modernise or reconfigure; local interest from trades and developers confirms its potential. Sale is freehold and the house will be sold as seen.
The house requires full refurbishment throughout — internal modernisation, external maintenance and garden clearance are all needed. Accommodation includes four bedrooms, a single bathroom and an average-sized footprint (approx. 1,414 sq ft), with outbuildings and workshops that increase development possibilities (subject to planning). There is a two-car garage and driveway access, plus mains gas central heating and double glazing already in place.
Rectory Meadow is a small, well-regarded enclave close to Sible Hedingham village and the market town of Halstead. Commuting is straightforward via the A120/A12 and rail links from nearby towns into London. Local schools are well regarded and the area is described as affluent with low crime — attributes that support rental demand and resale prospects.
Important drawbacks are straightforward: the property needs significant renovation and some exterior repairs, the family bathroom is just one facility for four bedrooms, and there may be costs to clear and landscape the overgrown garden. Buyers should note the auction sale terms and the as-seen condition when budgeting for purchase and works. Planning potential exists but is not guaranteed (STPP).
