Summary - OAK VILLA, ELM ROAD, BOWERS GIFFORD, BASILDON SS13 2LY
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious estate with barns, lake and annexes — ideal for redevelopment or multi‑use living.
Approx one-acre plot with sweeping driveway and road frontage
Set on an approximate one-acre plot in semi-rural Bowers Gifford, this imposing detached home offers rare scope and space. The principal house is very large with multiple reception rooms, a grand master suite with balcony, and four substantial bedrooms — suited to a family seeking long-term room or an owner-occupier wanting separate living/working wings.
The grounds and outbuildings form the primary appeal: three sizable barns, two annex buildings, a standalone log cabin with living and bedroom space, a pump house/store, detached garage block and a man-made lake with an entertaining outbuilding. These structures provide immediate ancillary accommodation, storage, hobby or small-business possibilities.
There is clear development potential subject to planning permission (STPP). Buyers should note the site is being offered on a large plot where redevelopment, conversion or subdivision may be possible, but any works would require the appropriate consents and costs. Practical drawbacks include slow broadband on site, an above-average local crime level and the wider area’s indicators of deprivation — factors to consider for resale or rental markets.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful country property with versatile buildings and significant upside for the right buyer: investors or growing families prepared to manage planning, services and potential renovation can realise strong long-term value.
