Large plot bungalow close to Shenfield station — ideal for renovation or extension.
Large 1,638 sq ft single-storey footprint including garage and workshop
Set on just over a quarter-acre within the private, leafy Hutton Mount estate, this detached 1950s bungalow offers 1,638 sq ft of single-storey living plus garage and workshop. The house sits back from the road behind a sweeping driveway with parking for several cars and easy pedestrian access to Shenfield mainline station (10–15 minute walk). Commuters benefit from a 23-minute Liverpool Street service and direct Elizabeth Line connections.
The accommodation includes a spacious lounge/diner opening to a large, elevated patio and mature garden — a clear family asset for play and entertaining — plus three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen with garden access. The property occupies a large plot with scope for a rear extension or redevelopment subject to planning consent, making it appealing to buyers seeking extension potential or a renovation project.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house requires renovation and updating throughout, the glazing predates 2002 and original cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the council tax sits in Band G. There is a Tree Preservation Order on a large oak at the rear which will restrict works in that area. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; flooding risk is low.
For families, the location is strong — several well-regarded local primary and secondary schools are nearby, and Brentwood town centre is a short drive or train stop away for shops and amenities. Investors and developers may also value the plot size and planning scope, but any buyer should budget for refurbishment and possible planning costs before committing.
