Mandalay Farm is a stylish, single-storey detached home set within about 10.5 acres of unspoilt North Essex countryside. The bungalow has been thoughtfully improved and extended to provide c.1,650–1,700 sq ft of versatile living space, including a light-filled kitchen/dining area with full-width bi-fold doors, underfloor heating through much of the house and a separate timber studio currently arranged as a self-contained annexe.
A major value driver is the approved planning permission to convert two former Nissen huts into a standalone three-bedroom dwelling, together with separate consent to substantially extend the main residence. The drive and plot layout already allow for an independent access and parking for the new dwelling, making this a strong opportunity for someone seeking additional accommodation, rental income or a development project within the existing grounds.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be noted: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, drainage is by private cesspit, and the EPC is rated D. The accommodation provides three double bedrooms and a single family bathroom, so families may wish to assess whether the current layout meets longer-term needs. The house dates from the 1950s but has been newly renovated internally and is presented to a high standard.
Positioned about one mile from Great Bardfield and with Felsted School roughly six miles away, the property sits in a peaceful hamlet with good access to local schools and country footpaths. This will appeal to buyers wanting rural privacy, significant outdoor space and the scope to add value through the approved development and further extension work.
