Description
A rare opportunity to secure a substantial detached home with a self-contained annex, set on a plot approaching 1.25 acres in the sought-after village of Wickham Bishops. Located on Ishams Chase, one of the area’s most exclusive roads, this property offers fantastic scope to modernise, extend, or redevelop (subject to planning).
The existing house requires updating and has been priced to reflect this, offering buyers the chance to create a bespoke home in a premium setting. The separate annex adds valuable flexibility — ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or generating additional income.
Planning permission has previously been granted three times to replace the current dwelling with a substantial 7 bedroom home, most recently in 2018. A fresh application has now been submitted and received positive feedback from the local authority. However, due to the presence of bats in the area (common in this part of Essex), further ecology surveys are now required before planning can be granted. These surveys can only take place from late May onwards, during Roosting Season. Buyers can view the full application via ref: 24/00805/FUL on the Maldon District council’s planning portal.
A Lifestyle Setting with Space and Privacy
The generous plot offers mature gardens, privacy, and space to grow, whether you're planning a full redevelopment or simply enhancing the existing layout. Homes on Ishams Chase rarely come to market — the road is made up of high-value detached properties, many of which have been long held by the same families for decades.
Wickham Bishops itself is an award-winning village known for its community feel, low crime rate, and countryside charm. Amenities include a village store, post office, tea room, tennis courts, and scenic walking routes — all just a short stroll from your door.
Well Connected but Wonderfully Peaceful
Despite the rural setting, the property is conveniently located just 1.4 miles from Witham Station, with direct trains to London Liverpool Street in under 45 minutes. Access to the A12 is also close by, making it ideal for commuters or families who want the best of both worlds.
Interested buyers are encouraged to contact us to explore the full potential of this unique opportunity. - Property Ref : 2376.
