This large freehold development site extends to approximately 0.396 hectares (c.42,625 sq ft) in a semi‑rural pocket west of Basildon. Full planning permission (ref: 17/01451/FULL) is in place for demolition of the existing chalet and construction of four detached dwellings: one chalet‑style bungalow and three detached bungalows. The consented scheme shows private gardens, off‑street parking and vehicular access, creating a low‑density residential compound suited to single‑storey living.
Key value drivers are the substantial frontage onto Lower Dunton Road with a return onto Church Road, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and mature tree screening that gives good privacy. The site's irregular shape and depths (43–63m) mean layouts will need careful design but also offer flexibility for landscaping and parking. The freehold tenure and consented scheme reduce early planning risk for a small‑scale housing development or a buy‑and‑hold residential investment.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors: the immediate area has higher‑than‑average crime and broader indicators of deprivation, which could affect lettability and resale pricing. The consent assumes demolition of the existing structure and site preparation costs; prospective purchasers should allow budget for demolition, services connections and any additional planning variation they may wish to pursue. Offers are sought in excess of £850,000.
