Description
A superb opportunity to acquire and develop a spacious family home, spanning approximately 3,500 sq ft within the charming Hamlet of Walthams Cross, in close proximity to the scenic village of Great Bardfield.
In addition, planning permission has been granted to convert an existing barn into an attractive two bedroom dwelling. There is untapped potential to develop an additional substantial outbuilding, currently without planning consent.
The site is situated within a breathtaking plot of about 18 acres, offering panoramic views of the picturesque countryside, towards the River Pant which borders the northern boundary.
The lower portion of the plot is currently utilised as a camping venue, generating income. An approved application allows for additional land use, permitting a total of 15 tent pitches (seven extra tent pitches during May to September) and an additional four pitches for campervans, RVs or caravans during the months of April to October (Planning Application Ref: 21/00861/FUL).
An existing detached, single-storey dwelling with four bedrooms is available to provide comfortable accommodation during the construction phase.
Rosewood, also known as Hill Farm, and currently consists of a detached bungalow featuring a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Braintree District Council has granted planning approval (17/01851/FUL) for the construction of a modern, detached country residence with four bedrooms. The new dwelling will serve as a replacement for the existing property.
The proposed internal layout of the new build will showcase a grand entrance hallway with a glazed vaulted return stairway leading to the first floor. The ground floor will comprise an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a utility room, a separate living room with bi-folding doors that open up to the garden, a home office and a study/playroom.
Moving to the first floor, the principal bedroom will boast an en suite bathroom, a dressing room and a balcony that will offer breathtaking views. Bedroom two will also benefit from its own en suite facilities. Additionally, there will be two more double bedrooms on this level along with a family bathroom.
Outside
The plans include provision for a double garage with two spacious storage sections and stairs leading up to a usable loft space.
The conversion of the existing barn presents an opportunity to create a single storey dwelling with two bedrooms and open-plan living accommodation. This space can be utilised as a detached annexe, providing additional living quarters for extended family members or guests. Alternatively, it could be rented out, offering a potential source of income in the future.
The property includes a designated car parking area, ensuring convenient parking for residents and visitors. Additionally, a separate driveway access is available, providing independent entry and exit points for the barn conversion
The elevated plot extends to about 18 acres, comprising formal garden and paddocks.
