What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

An exciting opportunity to acquire an equestrian property with 4 acres or an equestrian building plot (for a far larger replacement dwelling) with 4 acres. The location is tucked away at the foot of the private farm drive and buyers will have 3 years to commence the works for the new build from 5th May 2023. The existing bungalow could offer the potential for short-term residency whilst building the new house which is to be located about 4.5m from the rear of the existing dwelling.

What The Owner Says

This is a lovely spot. The property has always been part of the farm and we have annexed off up to 7.6 acres with the intention of gaining planning permission for a far larger replacement property with the potential to create equestrian facilities if required. We have had a couple of layout options drawn up but would propose that buyers could look to change the interior layout, to suit.

History & Background

A bungalow with acreage or building plot with planning permission - A superb four acre building plot to construct an attractive 3326 sq ft chalet style house with a frontage of 17.5m and an attractive gable end and accommodation that extends back some 15 meters. Currently on site is a two-bedroom detached bungalow with part double glazing and a modern heating system. The incoming buyer may prefer to modernise the existing dwelling opposed to building a new larger dwelling. The planning permission granted FUL/MAL/23/00252 is for the substantial new build to be constructed approximately 4.5 meters behind the existing dwelling and for the existing dwelling to be demolished on or before the completion of the new build. The plans submitted and passed offer a traditional internal layout, albeit variances to the layout could be applied.

The property is currently known as St Andrews Bungalow, belonging to St Andrew's Farm, but has recently been changed back to its former postal name Chase House. The existing property has the nameplate of St Andrews Bungalow and an energy performance certificate is available (Energy rating E ) carried out in 2020 where a new boiler and radiators have since been fitted. It is unknown whether the property is suitable for a mortgage due to its solid concrete block construction, hence the premises are being sold as a single new build development opportunity with equestrian potential with the assumption that the existing dwelling will be demolished.

Please further note that planning permission will be required for any equestrian facilities. There are an additional 3.6 acres of land which can be purchased by separate negotiation with a guide price of £25,000 per acre. Some of the additional acreage offers road frontage.

Please contact the selling agent to arrange an on-site viewing.

Setting & Location

The site is nestled at the foot of a private drive for St Andrews Farm, set away from the road and with its four acres to the rear up to established hedge lines. The position of the new build will be private with an enviable rural outlook. When visiting on-site the historic area of the garden is clearly marked. The formality of planning indicates the smaller area of domestic curtilage with the new build restricting the erection of outbuildings under permitted development rights.

The village of Latchingdon lies approximately 5 miles to the south of the Historic Maritime town of Maldon and about 6.5 miles to the east of South Woodham Ferrers. The village is located between the Crouch & Blackwater Estuaries where there are several sailing clubs and moorings for motorboats. The nearest moorings are around 3.5 miles from the property at either Althorne or North Fambridge with Burnham on Crouch (the mecca for sailing enthusiasts) is just over 8.5 miles away. Latchingdon offers local amenities including a shop and petrol station, a pub, and C of E primary school.

The Cities of Chelmsford and Southend are 12.5 and 21 miles respectively from the property.
