Chain-free bungalow with huge renovation and redevelopment potential near Chelmsford.
Large secluded plot with panoramic countryside views
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Loves Green, this three-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a large plot with open country views and no onward chain. Built around 1950, the property retains a traditional single-storey layout and mid‑century character, making it an appealing canvas for a family seeking countryside living within commuting distance of Chelmsford.
The bungalow requires full modernisation throughout — cosmetic and systems work are needed, and the oil-fired boiler and older double glazing will likely be replaced. Internally there is a living room, kitchen, single bathroom, three bedrooms and useful storage/utility space, while outside there is a private driveway, garage and extensive gardens with scope to extend or rebuild (subject to planning).
Practical positives include fast broadband, no flood risk, and convenient access to Chelmsford station (about 5.5 miles). Drawbacks to budget for are the need for comprehensive refurbishment, oil heating costs, an above-average council tax band, and an unknown tenure status that should be checked before exchange.
This is a rare rural opportunity for a family or buyer seeking long-term value: bring design ideas and a renovation plan to create a bespoke bungalow or consider redevelopment on this generous plot in a sought-after semi‑rural location.
