A unique opportunity to restore or replace a contemporary single-storey dwelling in a most idyllic location on about 3 acres.

The property is entered via a central reception hall which provides a natural focal point and gives access to the principal living spaces. The lounge is particularly generous in scale and enjoys a bright southerly aspect.

The kitchen is well proportioned and fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, with space for appliances and room for casual dining if desired. A useful adjoining utility room provides additional storage, with practical access to the side of the property.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room with fitted storage and is served by a well-appointed family bathroom. There are four further bedrooms, all of good proportions, and a separate shower room.

Outside
The plot is well established with mature trees and shrubs, surrounded by ancient National Trust-owned woodland. The property is accessed via a private driveway off Mill Lane, providing off-street parking.

Services
Mains services connected. We understand the drainage system is private and may not be compliant with current legislation. Any costs to replace the system will be the buyer's responsibility.

Location

Chelmsford: 6 miles; Hatfield Peverel: 4.1 miles; A12: 3.44 miles; Danbury village: 1.8 miles. All distances approximate.

Oaklea occupies a secluded position in Little Baddow, which is in a picturesque conservation area surrounded by a wealth of National Trust and heathland, in the heart of the Chelmer Valley.

Little Baddow is a very desirable village with two public houses (Olios on the Ridge and The Rodney), a highly recommended preparatory school (Elm Green), a village hall, two long-established churches and its own sports ground and clubhouse (which is home to a local cricket club in the summer months). The village lies just north of the village of Danbury, which has its own extensive range of local shops, amenities and schools (including the Heathcote Preparatory School and Nursery) and is only 5 miles due east of the city of Chelmsford, which again offers an excellent choice of facilities, with a bustling shopping centre, two outstanding grammar schools, a station on the main line into London Liverpool Street and access onto the A12.

Square Footage: 1,802 sq ft
