THE PROPERTIES
This 8.3-acre opportunity consists of two separate detached bungalows in good-sized gardens, and a separate, agricultural field to the south.
Little Blakes (title number: EX802124)
Little Blakes owns the access drive and sits in a plot that measures around a fifth of an acre, which includes a detached double garage.
The property measures 950 square foot and is a detached two-bedroom bungalow. It is a well-maintained property with accommodation as follows: A dual-aspect sitting room with a (closed) fireplace, a kitchen with space for a breakfast table and French doors to the garden, a WC and two bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities.
Greenoaks (title number: EX531774)
Greenoaks is a large bungalow which is sat in grounds that measure around a quarter of an acre.
The property is in need of some modernisation but is large at 1592 square feet and has a super layout including: four bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, a utility room, a WC, a large kitchen/dining room and a large sitting room with a fireplace. Much of the property has parquet flooring.
Arable land (title number: EX682859)
A 7.3-acre arable field with access via Oakfield Drive. The land is subject to an overage agreement which was imposed by a previous owner. This runs until 2042; please ask for more details.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Subject to obtaining planning permissions, we believe the land has the potential for residential development. Furthermore, the grounds associated with the bungalows could form part of a wider scheme or the bungalows themselves could be developed (stp) into larger, two storey dwellings.
LOCATION
The properties are located in the village of Boxted, outside the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just two miles from the edge of Colchester City and the A12. Colchester mainline train station is just over four miles from the properties where a direct service to London Liverpool Street runs with a journey time of just under an hour.
