Description

Occupying approximately 2.97 acres, this charming detached bungalow is complemented by an extensive collection of outbuildings, workshops, and stables, with the existing built footprint extending to circa 8,000 sq ft. The property presents an outstanding opportunity for those seeking a versatile home with immediate business capability, or a site with considerable scope for enhancement and redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents (STPP).

The principal residence offers comfortable and characterful accommodation, perfectly suited to owner occupiers looking to enjoy a semi-rural setting without compromising on accessibility. The surrounding land and outbuildings provide remarkable flexibility, lending themselves to a wide range of uses including equestrian facilities, commercial operations, storage, or bespoke home-working environments.

For developers and investors, the scale of the plot and the established footprint create an exciting prospect, with clear potential to maximise value through redevelopment or reconfiguration (STPP). Opportunities of this nature, combining substantial acreage, existing structures, and a highly desirable location, are seldom brought to the open market.

Ideally positioned on the fringes of Romford, the property enjoys a peaceful, countryside feel while remaining within easy reach of excellent transport links, local amenities, and connections into London and the wider Essex area.

A truly unique and compelling offering, combining charm, space, and outstanding potential, viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.
