Summary - WILLOWS REACH, 144A, SMUGGLERS CLUB GROUND, BRIDGEMARSH LANE CM3 6DQ
2 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Single‑level country living with a huge paddock — ideal for downsizers who want outdoor space.
Detached single‑storey lodge with two double bedrooms and en‑suite
Set in a quiet village location with riverside walks and direct rail links to London, this detached single‑storey lodge offers straightforward living and an unusually large external plot. The bungalow has two double bedrooms (one with en‑suite), an open living/dining space with a multi‑fuel burner, a conservatory, detached garage and private gardens. A 120' x 110' paddock opposite the property is included in the sale — a rare rural asset that adds scope for hobby farming, grazing or recreational use.
The lodge is offered freehold with no onward chain and will be sold as seen, with furniture and many appliances included. Practical benefits include ample block‑paved parking, gated access to the garage and a compact, well arranged kitchen. Its single‑level layout, modest running footprint and village amenities make it particularly suitable for buyers looking to downsize or seeking a low‑density rural base within reach of Maldon and Burnham‑on‑Crouch.
Important facts and cautions are stated plainly: the property is suitable for cash buyers only, has a 12‑month occupancy condition, uses oil‑fired central heating and has timber‑frame walls with only partial insulation (as built). The Energy Performance rating is F, and some updating or further insulation works would likely be needed to improve fuel efficiency and ongoing running costs. Prospective purchasers should also note the bungalow’s mid‑20th century construction and that services, appliances and structural elements have not been independently tested.
Viewing is strongly advised to appreciate the large plot, paddock and practical layout. For a downsizer or countryside buyer who values outdoor space and straightforward, single‑level living, this property offers tangible potential — but budget and plans should allow for energy upgrades and any renovation works required by a survey.
