A rare development plot in a picturesque Essex village with full planning permission for four dwellings. Braintree Council approvals cover conversion of an existing 2,000 sq ft office into an extended four‑bed home, a new build 1,762 sq ft four‑bed house, and the 4,400 sq ft Grade II listed barn split into three homes (two 4‑beds, one 5‑bed). The site includes a garage, garden and a decent plot area with countryside views.
This opportunity suits developers or investor‑builders seeking a permitted rural scheme. The planning history is extensive (applications and variations recorded), including retention of an on‑site substation and alterations to driveway/access. Mobile signal is excellent and local crime is low; broadband is average. The village setting is affluent with good local primary schools and attractive surroundings.
Buyers should note the barn’s Grade II listed status: conversions will require listed‑building compliance and may add time, cost and restrictions. Landscaping is needed in parts and some external works are covered by the variations; utilities include an existing substation that has been the subject of retention permission.
In short: substantial, well‑permitted development in a sought‑after rural location, but expect listed‑building constraints and additional costs tied to conservation compliance and site finishing.
