Set within about 2.5 acres, this Victorian detached house combines generous living space with extensive outbuildings. The main house offers roughly 2,210 sq ft across well-proportioned reception rooms and five bedrooms, with period features and high ceilings that retain character and charm.
The plentiful ancillary buildings (approx. 1,790 sq ft) include multiple garages, workshop and sheds, presenting clear potential for home office, annexe, stabling or other uses subject to planning consent (STPP). The large paddock, mature gardens, pond and established hedging make the plot rare for the area and attractive to buyers seeking space and privacy.
Practical drawbacks are material: the EPC is rated E and parts of the interior are dated and will need modernization to current standards. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should factor in upgrade costs for energy efficiency and probable refurbishment to fully realise the property's potential.
This property will suit families and buyers seeking a renovation project with significant ancillary opportunity. Its semi-rural setting benefits from good road links and nearby rail connections to Chelmsford and London, while local schools and countryside amenities are within easy reach.
