Summary - HOLLY LODGE WOODHILL ROAD DANBURY CHELMSFORD CM3 4AL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family property with equestrian potential and private elevated grounds.
Electric gated driveway with extensive parking and EV charging point
A substantial Potton Heritage style home set in about 4.19 acres, offering countryside privacy with easy access to Danbury village and Chelmsford. The house delivers generous living space across roughly 2,300 sqft: a triple‑aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace, a 22ft kitchen/breakfast with woodburning stove, separate dining room and a family room with a recessed bar. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and an en‑suite, and there is useful ancillary space in a detached double garage with loft room and a timber outbuilding ideal for a home office.
The grounds are the main draw: mature paddocks, formal gardens and planning permission (ref 22/01440/FUL, decision 22.11.22) granted conditionally for three stables, tack/hay store and a 20m x 40m ménage. This makes the property well suited to equestrian purchasers or buyers seeking substantial outside space. The gated gravel driveway provides extensive parking and an EV charging point; broadband is full fibre and glazing is double.
Buyers should note practical points honestly. The property has mixed heating references (oil heating noted and electric underfloor systems reported) and solid brick walls with added internal insulation; prospective purchasers should verify heating/service details. The acreage and older construction mean ongoing maintenance and management costs. The property lies on a private road with a 25% contribution payable toward repair costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Overall this is a country family home with strong equestrian potential and flexible outbuildings. It will suit buyers wanting space, seclusion and scope to add facilities, but it will also suit purchasers prepared for upkeep of an older, large plot and to progress the conditional planning permissions within the stated timescale.
