Set back from the road on a circa 0.25 acre plot, this spacious four‑bedroom detached house offers around 2,900 ft² of flexible family accommodation and a rear garden approaching 130 ft. The property is offered chain free and benefits from a long driveway, double garage and multiple reception rooms including a study — ideal for home working and family life.
Significant planning permission (Maldon Council ref: 24/00424/HOUSE) has been granted for front and rear extensions, reconfigured bedrooms, additional ensuites and an attic conversion to create two further bedrooms. Those plans create clear scope to enlarge the open-plan living space and add value, making this a strong option for buyers seeking extension potential rather than a move‑in turnkey home.
Practical features include oil‑fired central heating and double glazing. Buyers should note the main heating is oil (not a community supply), cavity walls are only partially insulated (assumed), and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to consider for running costs. The property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and will suit purchasers comfortable with updating parts of the house.
Located in the village of Woodham Mortimer, the house sits within easy reach of Chelmsford, Danbury and Maldon, local schools and village amenities. For families wanting space, privacy and clear planning consent to extend, this home offers a rare combination of plot size, scope and immediate road access.
