Set on about 1.75 acres in a sought-after Essex village, this six-bedroom detached home combines generous living proportions with versatile ancillary accommodation. The main residence offers four double bedrooms with en-suites and dressing rooms, a grand galleried landing reached by a handmade sweeping staircase, formal reception rooms and a high-spec kitchen with integrated appliances. Two self-contained annexes — a two-bedroom garden annex and a separate entertainment/games annex with bar and gym — support multi-generational living or rental income.
The plot delivers extensive privacy, mature gardens and wide driveway parking with garaging. Planning permission has been granted for an indoor swimming pool and leisure complex (Application 22/01590/LDCP, Basildon Borough Council), making this site attractive for buyers wanting substantial expansion or bespoke leisure facilities. Broadband is average for the area; mobile signal is excellent.
Practical considerations: the house’s very large footprint and grounds bring correspondingly higher running and maintenance costs. Local secondary provision includes two schools rated as ‘Requires improvement’ by Ofsted, though primary options close by include two ‘Good’ schools and a high-performing Roman Catholic primary rated ‘Outstanding’. This detached freehold sits in a low-crime, comfortable suburban area with good road and rail links to London.
Overall, the property suits a family or multi-generational buyer seeking space, privacy and scope for leisure development, or an investor looking for a high-end, flexible asset with planning in place for a substantial pool/leisure build.
