Large plot with pool conversion permission and planning potential for two homes.
Around 1.7 acres of mature, private gardens and gated entrance
An exceptionally large detached Tudor-Revival chalet set in around 1.7 acres on an elevated site beside Rayleigh Mount. The house offers substantial living space (approx. 389 sqm / 4,187 sq ft), a long gated drive, mature gardens, double garage, outbuildings and an indoor pool complex.
Significant value lies in the pool complex, which already has planning permission to convert to annex accommodation, and in the sellers’ planning application to develop the lower garden with two further properties (Rochford DC Ref 22/00719/FUL). The site’s size, proximity to Rayleigh High Street and the mainline station make it suited to a developer, investor or buyer seeking extensive private grounds with conversion potential.
The property is offered for sale by auction and is sold vacant freehold. It requires modernisation and possible structural/energy upgrades: the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the pool/complex will need refurbishment if retained. Prospective buyers should factor in renovation costs, ongoing running expenses (pool and large heating load) and the typical uncertainties of planning and auction sale conditions.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile reception. Negatives to note: above-average local crime, active planning on the lower garden being part of the sale, and auction sale timing — all of which investors must assess alongside site potential.
