A rare opportunity to acquire an elevated block of pasture and woodland within the highly regarded Langdon Hills area, enjoying spectacular far-reaching views across the Essex countryside towards the Thames Estuary with no public rights of access.

The property comprises productive grazing land, creating a highly attractive holding with considerable amenity appeal and excellent accessibility to Basildon, Billericay, Brentwood and the A127.
