Key features

  • Former Water Tower
  • Planning Permission Granted

Description

A rare chance to acquire a former water tower with granted planning permission for residential conversion, located in the village of High Garrett, roughly three miles north of Braintree. This exceptional project offers the potential for a stunning 'Grand Designs'-style home spread over three levels, encompassing approximately 320 sq m (3,444 sq ft) of living space. There is also scope to add another level within the existing structure.

The water tower's design is characteristic of its era, showcasing unique artistic, architectural, historical, and engineering elements. The approved plans outline four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, arranged over the ground and first floors. The second floor will serve as the main reception area, featuring an open-plan layout and a private terrace. The uppermost level, housed within the original tank structure, will accommodate the kitchen/family area, a utility room, and a creatively designed mezzanine.

Planning permission was granted by Braintree District Council in August 2022 under application number 22/02126/FUL. Additional details and the full conditions of the scheme are available on Braintree District Council’s planning website.

Accessed from Lyons Hall Road via a private gated drive, the property sits adjacent to its eastern boundary. The proposed garden areas lie to the north and east, with parking at the front. The site, not including the driveway, measures approximately 13.7 x 22.4 meters 0.1 acres.

This property currently has many hazards and in order to view the property on all floors one will need to use a metal ladder and the following applies:

- Viewers must be physically fit and able to climb ladders
- Viewings by appointment only
- No children on viewings
- Suitable footwear must be worn (no flipflop, heels etc)
- You may be required to wear safety equipment to access the property
