A spacious detached bungalow in delightful country lane location with planning consent for a 2185 sq ft detached dwelling
What We Think at the Zoe Napier Group
Situated in the most wonderful, idyllic country back water lane and surrounded by sumptuous countryside, this property represents a wonderful opportunity for an incoming buyer to construct a magnificent new home or alternatively, extend the existing accommodation to suit their needs (subject to the necessary consents).
What the owners say
Being part of the fantastic village community has been a wonderful experience for us and having the village centre on our doorstep with all its amenities is a huge bonus.
History & Background
This deceptively spacious character home has the benefit of passed planning consent for the erection of a 2185 sq ft detached dwelling and enjoys a delightful quiet country lane location within the heart of the highly desirable village of Danbury. The un-listed bungalow is believed to have originally been constructed in 1617 and oozes charm and character. The impressive accommodation includes two receptions rooms, kitchen/ breakfast room, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The wonderful grounds are a particular feature of the property, beautifully secluded and surrounded by undulating countryside.
Setting & Location
The property is nestled on the fringes of the highly sought after village of Danbury, set along a beautiful, and peaceful country back water lane, surrounded by the National Trust Danbury Commons and Backwarden Nature reserve. Danbury is one of the most popular villages in this part of Essex boasting the highest point in the county. There are a number of clubs and sports facilities and Danbury park school (currently rated as outstanding by Ofsted) is a short drive away. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy Danbury Country Park as part of the National Trust the nearby Backwarden Nature reserve and RHS Hyde Hall.
Secondary schooling can be found at Sandon School and Great Baddow High School with private schooling found in the village for Elm Green (Little Baddow) and Heathcote with New Hall and Felsted schools within the daily school run. Chelmsford Train Station would be the best station for access into London Liverpool Street a 5.4 mile drive away.

Accommodation
The property provides substantial family living. The accommodation is bright with many rooms being dual aspect and enjoy views over the grounds. The main entrance porch provides access through to the reception rooms, including generous sitting room, boasting an array of exposed timbers and attractive open fireplace. The adjoining dining room provides access to the kitchen/ breakfast room, a well-proportioned, bright room with splendid views to the rear. Residing in the East wing of the property are three double bedrooms, all benefiting from views over the surrounding grounds and are complemented by the family bathroom and separate WC.
The Grounds
As you approach the property, situated to the left is a driveway providing off street parking for several vehicles. The delightful front garden is wonderfully secluded and boasts a plethora of mature trees and shrubs, with side gate leading to the side garden which is beautifully screened by mature hedging. Situated directly behind the bungalow is a small slither of ground that adjoins the allotments to the rear.
Agents Notes
- The private drainage/sewage system is likely to require updating with a modern system to comply with current legislation.
- We understand that the current owners are currently renting a section of the allotments to the rear from the local authority for a peppercorn rent which should be transferable to the new owners
