Description

A rectangular plot of 5 hectares with its own direct access to the land via a gated entrance on Chapel Lane.

Location
Little Baddow is a village and civil parish in the Chelmsford district of Essex, England, lying to the east of Chelmsford itself. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 1,600.
The village includes woodlands owned by the National Trust and Essex Naturalist Trust.
Although there are no shops in the village, there are two pubs, The Generals Arms and The Rodney, a village hall, and Elm Green Preparatory School. Churches are the Anglican St Mary the Virgin and the United Reformed Church. St Mary's is a Grade I listed building with a late 11th-century core.

Planning
Agricultural permitted development rights (Part 6, Class A) in England allow for the erection, extension, or alteration of agricultural buildings on units of 5 hectares or more without full planning permission, provided they are for agricultural trade. Key rules allow up to 1,500 sqm of new development (formerly 1,000 sqm), maximum 12m height, and require prior approval from the council.

Terms of Offer
This site is being sold on an unconditional basis with the guide price of £360,000.

Viewing is by appointment only via the agent.
