Set on a large plot in sought-after West Hanningfield, this four-bedroom detached home offers generous reception rooms, a detached double garage and a master en-suite — all with NO ONWARD CHAIN. The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and provides a solid layout for family life with sizeable reception and bedroom proportions across approximately 1,965 sq ft.
The property requires modernisation throughout: roof shows moss and weathering, internal finishes are dated and some services have not been tested. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators (private supply), windows are double glazed though installation date is unknown, and walls are cavity-built with partial insulation assumed. Buyers should budget for refurbishment and general maintenance work.
This lot is offered for sale by Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve. A non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600 including VAT) is payable in addition to the purchase price, plus up to £349 (inc VAT) for the buyer information pack. Completion is required within 56 days; bidders must complete ID checks and provide proof of funding. Prospective purchasers should review the Buyer Information Pack and carry out their own due diligence and surveys before bidding.
For families seeking space in a quiet village setting or investors looking for refurbishment potential near Chelmsford, the home presents clear scope to add value while enjoying fast broadband, low local crime and convenient road and rail links into Chelmsford and London. Note council tax is described as quite expensive and heating runs on oil — factors to consider in ongoing running costs.
