Summary - Hawthorns, St. Peters Road SS5 6AA
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious countryside plot with smallholding facilities and strong extension potential.
Chain free with almost four acres of grounds and private woodland
Set within almost four acres, this detached house on St. Peters Road offers a rare semi-rural lifestyle close to Hockley. The grounds include private woodland, orchards, allotments, an aviary, four chicken coops and a pig sty — ideal for smallholding hobbies or anyone seeking extensive outdoor space. The property is offered chain free, with parking for 10–12 vehicles and a double garage plus covered storage.
Internally the home blends character with scope: two reception rooms, a large kitchen with central island, a wrap‑around conservatory and a substantial loft room already converted with ensuite and walk‑in wardrobe. Recent practical upgrades include a newly fitted Ideal gas boiler (Dec 2024) and CCTV. There is clear potential to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning) to create a larger master suite or annex over the garage.
Buyers should note the house was originally built 1930–1949 with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation (assumed). Some areas will benefit from modernisation and energy‑efficiency improvements. Council tax is above average; any major reconfiguration or outbuilding conversion will require planning permission. Flood risk is low.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character home with substantial land — families, smallholders or those wanting a private countryside feel close to local schools and amenities. Its size, outbuildings and scope for improvement make it attractive for long‑term living or change of use projects (subject to consents).
