Set in an attractive rural lane yet a short drive from Great Dunmow, this detached four-bedroom home sits on a generous plot with front, rear and side gardens and substantial off-street parking. The property offers versatile accommodation across two storeys with four reception rooms, a long fitted kitchen and two bathrooms — practical for large families or those working from home.
Built before 1900, the house retains period character but requires updating; the EPC is E and the walls are solid brick with no fitted cavity insulation (assumed). The property has double glazing fitted since 2002, oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a private drainage system — all important running-cost considerations alongside council tax band F.
The large, level plot provides clear scope to extend or redevelop (subject to planning), making this a strong proposition for buyers seeking expansion potential or uplift through refurbishment. It’s offered chain-free, positioned in an affluent, low-crime village setting with good bus links and easy road access to the A120, M11 and Stansted Airport.
Buyers should note material points: the house will need modernisation, potential insulation and energy-efficiency works, and ongoing oil-fuel costs. For a family wanting countryside living near good schools, or an investor/developer seeking a project with scope, this property presents substantial opportunity.
