Summary - Hawkswood Road, Downham, Billericay, Essex, CM11 CM11 1JZ
5 bed 3 bath Detached
3.56-acre development plot with full planning; existing chalet bungalow and extensive grounds.
Full planning permission granted (Chelmsford ref 24/01467/CLEUD)
Set on a substantial 3.56-acre plot on the edge of Downham and South Hanningfield, this freehold site is offered with full planning permission (Chelmsford Council ref 24/01467/CLEUD). The existing property is a detached three-bedroom chalet bungalow surrounded by extensive grounds, outbuildings and a working yard — a clear starting point for redevelopment or a larger country residence.
The plot’s size and planning consent are the principal value drivers for developers and self-builders. Broadband speeds are reported fast and the area is affluent with very low crime, making the site suitable for high-quality residential development or a private family estate. There is attractive countryside character nearby, plus local streams and woodland that add privacy and setting.
Buyers should note this is a working yard with existing structures; redevelopment will involve site clearance and build costs. The existing chalet bungalow offers modest accommodation and will likely require significant refurbishment if retained. One nearby secondary school (Mayflower High School) is rated ‘Requires improvement’ by Ofsted, while local primary schools are rated Good.
Access and utilities specifics are not provided here and should be confirmed before purchase. This opportunity will suit developers, builders or buyers seeking a large rural plot with confirmed planning permission and the scope to create a substantial home or multiple dwellings.
