Summary - BROOKVIEW, MARKS FARM LANE, CHELMSFORD, RETTENDON COMMON CM3 8HF
3 bed 3 bath Detached Bungalow
Spacious single-level home with large south-facing garden and detached garage office.
Detached bungalow on approx one third acre plot, very private
Set on a secluded plot of approximately one third of an acre, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers single‑level living in a rarely available rural, non‑estate location. The house sits back from the lane behind mature hedging and trees, with a long gravel driveway, large parking/turning area and a south‑facing rear garden of about 120' x 62'. The 19'7 x 16'9 lounge/dining room features exposed hand‑carved beams, a full‑height brick fireplace and a wood burner that gives the principal living space strong character and year‑round comfort.
Accommodation includes a principal bedroom with fitted furniture and modern ensuite, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room plus separate utility room provide practical food‑preparation and laundry space. To the rear of the plot a detached double garage with power and light includes a useful office space and has its own vehicular access.
Practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil boiler (LPG/Energy services noted), glazing is double but installed before 2002 and cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation — buyers should budget for energy improvements. The EPC is TBC. There is potential to extend or reconfigure on this large plot (subject to planning), and the seller has indicated the possibility of buying additional adjoining land via separate negotiation.
For families who want countryside seclusion with easy access to walking and waterside amenities, this bungalow offers a rare combination of plot, privacy and single‑storey convenience. It's well maintained but will reward buyers who plan targeted updates to improve energy performance and modernise where desired.
