Description
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire an approximate one-acre site (more land by option) occupying a secluded position set back from Mayes Lane, offering the chance to create a countryside residence in a highly accessible yet rural setting.
The site is currently occupied by a variety of barns and outbuildings and previously benefitted from full planning permission, granted by Chelmsford City Council in July 2022 (Planning Reference: 21/00537/FUL), for the construction of a four bedroom detached dwelling with a double garage, substantial stable block & ancillary outbuildings. Whilst the planning permission has recently expired, it demonstrates the site's potential for redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
Situated in a peaceful rural location, the property enjoys the best of both worlds, offering privacy and a wonderful countryside setting whilst remaining conveniently located approximately two miles from the A12 and A130, providing excellent transport links to Chelmsford, London and the surrounding areas.
This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to design build their own home, whether for equestrian use, family living or simply to enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding countryside.
An exceptional opportunity in a sought-after rural location with outstanding potential to create a truly individual home.
