Guide Price: £950,000

Freehold | Approx. 1,750 sq. ft | Three Bedrooms | Outbuildings | Exceptional Potential (STPP)

Occupying one of the most coveted addresses within Old Moulsham, this charming detached period home presents a truly exceptional and rare opportunity. Situated on a double-width plot, encompassing the undeveloped sites of numbers 8 and 10 Hamlet Road, this property offers an expansive garden and scope for development or extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions). Opportunities of this nature in Old Moulsham are exceedingly rare — this is genuinely a one-off plot.

The Property

This handsome late-Victorian residence is set back from the road behind a mature hedge and wrought-iron fencing, with a gated entrance opening onto a block-paved driveway providing ample parking and access to a large detached garage and workshop.

Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 1,750 sq. ft, arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises:

• A welcoming entrance hall with access to the open-plan living and dining room, complete with bay window, feature fireplace, and original floorboards.

• A well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, overlooking the rear gardens and fitted with solid timber units and extensive work surfaces.

• A utility room, ground floor bathroom, and an additional office/studio, ideal for home working or creative pursuits.

The first floor offers three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom, all full of character and natural light.

Outside

The gardens are a standout feature — extensive, private, and beautifully mature, framed by vibrant trees that provide colour year-round. The double plot stretches from No.6 Hamlet Road right through to the boundary of No.12, offering significant scope for extension, annexe construction, or even an additional dwelling (subject to planning).

The garage and workshop provide excellent storage or conversion potential, while the broad driveway accommodates multiple vehicles. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with a greenhouse, established shrubs, and specimen trees — a haven for gardening enthusiasts.
