Set on an impressive three‑acre plot in a semi‑rural setting, this substantial Victorian detached house offers almost 3,000 sq ft of versatile living. The property combines strong period character — gabled façades, sash‑style windows and high ceilings — with a newly renovated open‑plan kitchen/dining family area, a 27' dual‑aspect living room and an office/playroom, ideal for family life or flexible home working.
Outdoors the plot is a major asset: gated driveway parking for multiple vehicles, a detached double garage, a heated outdoor swimming pool, stable block and generous grounds that present clear scope for landscaping, equestrian use or re‑development (subject to planning). Good road links to Braintree, Halstead and the A120/M11 make this a convenient semi‑rural commuter option, with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and very low local crime.
The house will suit buyers who value space, character and scope. The recently renovated kitchen and large reception rooms reduce immediate work inside, but the property’s size and plot mean ongoing maintenance and seasonal upkeep — particularly of the pool, outbuildings and grounds. There is also explicit potential for re‑development (STPP) for those seeking a project or investment opportunity.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, three bathrooms, five double bedrooms and substantial storage outbuildings. Drawbacks to note: the site has road frontage to an A‑road so there is roadside noise potential; the extensive grounds require regular maintenance; and any significant changes would need planning permission. Overall this is a rare, flexible country lot for a large family, hobby‑farmer or buyer seeking redevelopment/investment potential.
