PROPERTY
Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of prime land boasting an exceptional location with unparalleled potential. This 3.58-acre parcel (Subject to Survey - STS) is ideally situated in close proximity to all local amenities, making it a coveted address for those seeking convenience and accessibility.

This expansive piece of land could hold immense promise for development (Subject to Planning Permission - STPP), presenting a canvas for your visionary projects. With no onward chain, you can embark on your plans without delay, and the possibilities are endless.

One of the distinguishing features of this land is the presence of over 100 willow trees, adding both charm and ecological richness to the landscape. This unique feature not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also opens avenues for potential revenue through a willow tree sale. This particular type of willow has been planted for the production of cricket bats with each tree providing around 40 blanks. With a 10 to 15 year time to maturity the trees here are at various stages of their growth cycle with some not far off maturity. Current market value for a mature willow is around £500 and rising. (The trees have been planted, tended and harvested by JS Wright's the worlds oldest and largest cricket bat willow supplier based in Great Leighs.)

The property offers two entrances ensuring both security and a grand entrance.

With low maintenance costs, this piece of land is not only an investment in real estate but also a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a versatile piece of land with the potential to become your dream project. Don't miss the chance to turn this blank canvas into a masterpiece tailored to your vision and aspirations.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
