Summary - Hawkswood Road, Downham, Billericay, Essex, CM11 CM11 1JZ
1 bed 1 bath Equestrian Facility
Rare freehold 3+ acre equestrian site with full planning for two detached homes..
Over 3 acres of freehold land and working equestrian yard
Set on over 3 acres on the edge of Downham and South Hanningfield, this freehold equestrian facility offers a rare development opportunity with full planning consent for two detached family homes (Chelmsford Council ref: 25/00260/FUL). The site includes a working yard, large fenced paddocks and pasture land, providing a flexible canvas for homes that will enjoy privacy and open country views.
The plot’s countryside setting sits within an affluent, low-crime area and benefits from fast broadband; mobile signal is average. Local primary schools are rated Good, while the nearest secondary has a Requires Improvement Ofsted outcome. There is no recorded flood risk. Buyers should note council tax details are not supplied and utility/service connections for new builds will need confirming.
This is primarily a development or investment proposition: planning permission reduces delivery risk, but purchasers should allow for build costs, groundwork, and yard maintenance. The existing yard and equestrian infrastructure will require ongoing upkeep or removal depending on the chosen scheme. Buyers wanting a lifestyle equestrian base rather than development should be aware the site is presented with consent for housing.
Offers will suit developers, investor-builders or buyers seeking a large private plot for bespoke homes. Viewings and detailed planning documentation should be reviewed via the Chelmsford Council planning portal using the supplied reference to confirm conditions and constraints.
