Set back on a private no-through lane in a sought-after Southminster location, this very large building plot (about 0.4 acre / 36m x 45m) comes with full planning permission by appeal (ref: 21/01141/FUL) for a substantial two-storey house of approximately 2,400 sq ft and a detached 8.5m x 7.2m garage/workshop. The site is largely clear with established hedgerow and boundary trees, mains water present, and an isolated telegraph pole supplying electricity to the plot.
This is a strong opportunity for a self-builder or developer wanting a near-ready consent in an attractive village setting with paddock views and good broadband. The approved scheme provides three double bedrooms, two en‑suites, family bathroom, galleried landing and spacious open-plan living plus two additional reception rooms — practical accommodation for families or buyers seeking generous living space.
Important practical points are transparent: there is no mains foul drainage nearby so a private drainage solution will be required, and there is no mains gas. An old septic and a well are on site. The existing telegraph pole sits centrally; the seller has a dated quotation to install an underground single-phase supply (quote expired). If you adopt the approved drawings you should note the timber-frame element is a Potton Homes design and, due to copyright, Potton must supply the timber frame if building exactly to those plans. Buyers may reapply for their own design if preferred.
Guide price £375,000–£400,000. Freehold; planning granted by appeal 24 Feb 2023. The plot suits a self-builder, small developer or family wanting a bespoke home in a rural village with rail links to London and local amenities.
