Summary - WREKIN FARM, BURNHAM ROAD, CHELMSFORD, ALTHORNE CM3 6DT
4 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Spacious single-storey home on about one acre with energy-efficient upgrades.
Approximately one acre secluded plot with extensive lawns and mature trees
Wrekin Farm is a substantial single-storey home set on a very large, private plot of about one acre. The bungalow offers generous living spaces throughout — a large L-shaped entrance hall, an expansive lounge with a double-sided wood burner, dining room, sizeable kitchen/breakfast room and a bright summer/garden room. Four double bedrooms include a principal bedroom with en-suite and a separate family bathroom, all arranged for comfortable single-level living.
Outside, the mature, mostly fenced gardens wrap around the house with established trees (including fruit), wide lawns, a large patio, hot-tub area and double gated vehicular access to the rear. The plot’s scale and vehicle access create practical scope for ancillary uses or further development potential (subject to planning). An office/cabin within the grounds offers flexible space for home working or guest accommodation, with its own living area and bedrooms.
Energy-efficient features include an air-source heat pump and around 30 roof-mounted solar panels, which will reduce running costs and appeal to buyers seeking lower energy bills. Practical advantages include extensive off-street parking and straightforward single-storey living for easy accessibility.
Notable considerations: the property sits in a rural village with no mobile signal on site, and council tax is above average. Any significant change of use or extension will require planning approval; the description references potential for further development which must be clarified with local planning. The bungalow is presented in good order but the large plot and older outbuildings may need ongoing maintenance and garden upkeep.
