Downham Road, Downham, Billericay

Guide Price: £900,000 - £1,000,000

Standing in grounds totalling just over 1.25 acres, this established three-bedroom detached bungalow offers considerable potential in the village of Downham. The bungalow and mature garden occupy an exceptionally wide plot of just over a quarter of an acre, with approximately one acre of private woodland included to the rear.

With approximately 89ft of road frontage, a substantial four-car garage and extensive parking, the property will appeal to developers exploring its potential and owner-occupiers looking to create a home tailored to their own needs. It requires modernisation and is offered with no onward chain.

There is scope to update the existing accommodation or consider a more ambitious scheme, including extending the bungalow, redeveloping the residential plot with two new dwellings, or retaining part of the existing property alongside a new dwelling (subject to planning consent). The woodland is subject to a blanket Tree Preservation Order.

An entrance hall leads into accommodation that includes a triple-aspect lounge and separate dining room, providing distinct spaces for relaxing and entertaining. The conservatory overlooks the rear garden, making the most of the established outdoor setting.

The kitchen is fitted with pine units and includes a freestanding cooker, which will remain. A large utility room provides useful additional space and practicality, while the accommodation offers an opportunity to rethink the layout to suit individual requirements.

There are three bedrooms, with an en suite bathroom serving the main bedroom. A separate, fully tiled family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside, a broad gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking and access to the exceptionally large garage. With capacity for four cars, two front up-and-over doors and a further up-and-over door to the rear, it is particularly well suited to motoring enthusiasts or those requiring substantial storage and hobby space. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by established shrubs and mature trees. Beyond, the property's own woodland creates an attractive leafy backdrop and adds a distinctive dimension to the grounds.

Combining generous outside space and considerable potential with a village setting accessible to Billericay, Ingatestone and Chelmsford, this is an appealing opportunity for a buyer with vision.
