A wonderful opportunity to purchase a three bedroom bungalow with 3,400sq.ft of outbuildings, providing fantastic onward potential and situated within grounds of around 11.5 acres, including impressive woodland and stunning countryside views - offered to the market with no onward chain.

The property offers potential to improve and personalise to one's taste and can be entered from the entrance hall or kitchen. The kitchen has a range of storage units with space for appliances and is positioned between the dining and living room with doors to the garden. There is a shower room and a separate bathroom, together with three bedrooms.

Overages
The vendor will call for an overage agreement to bind the purchasers and their successors in respect of future development of 25% of any uplift in value, remaining for 25 years. This is only applicable following a successful planning application for an additional dwellings(s) or conversion of outbuildings to residential unless for ancestral use remaining with Bakerson. The full overage agreement will be available from the sellers legal representatives prior to exchange of contracts. The property is set back from Maldon Road and approached by a gate and driveway, which leads to the bungalow and outbuildings.

A lawned garden surrounds the bungalow which is fenced off to the meadow, enclosed by mature hedgerows and bordered by a bridle path. We understand the private drainage system is non-compliant and requires repairs and updating which will be the responsibility of the new purchaser.

The current owners are retaining the separate entrance and woodland to the north-eastern boundary that borders Bakerson where there are two graves for them to retain ownership and access to the burial site. To the eastern boundary the neighbouring property has a private clay trap for shooting/sporting purposes.

We understand that the construction of the bungalow and chicken shed roof may possibly contain asbestos. This may not be the case, but in any event this has been reflected in the asking price. There is a separate, redundant water metre for the chicken sheds.

We suggest that any interested parties seek financial advice regarding mortgage ability, prior to viewing and offering on the property.

Woodland
To the south side of the property are stunning, far reaching countryside views towards the Tolleshunt's and a woodland that was planted in March 2000 using a Woodland Grant Scheme, band 5. These provide a natural haven for wildlife with a huge variety of specimen trees including; pedunculate oak, common ash, wild cherry, sycamore, sweet chestnut, walnut and yew.

We understand the woodland is 'supervised' by Forestry Commission but our clients have not heard from the Forestry Commission for some time. To fell any trees one must obtain a felling licence from Forestry Commission and this is limited to 5% annually.

Outbuildings
North of the bungalow are two large, retired chicken sheds, with two further barns, a pre-fab stable block and further hen shed. The outbuildings total 3,400sq.ft and provide fantastic potential for a variety of uses (STPP) including potential for equestrian facilities or a smallholding.
