Castledon Road, Downham, Billericay, CM11

A charming Billericay property set upon approximately 1.5 acres, with kennels, outbuildings, huge lifestyle potential and rural charm- Close to Barleylands, rail to London, shows, parks and top Essex countryside.

A Rare Country Opportunity on the Edge of Billericay:

Tucked away down a quiet and private road, this substantial property offers versatile grounds, blending semi-rural living with the convenience of nearby commuter links. Once home to a successful kennels business, the site still bears the infrastructure/ purpose-built kennel buildings, making it an ideal proposition for those seeking to revive the enterprise or reimagine it entirely; canine retreat, cattery, artisan workshops, or lifestyle venture.

But this is much more than just a business opportunity. The setting is peaceful, private, and deeply connected to the surrounding countryside. Mature boundaries offer seclusion, whilst the generous plot unfolds to offer space for formal gardens, animal keeping, or growing your own. For those drawn to country living without sacrificing accessibility, this address strikes the perfect balance.

The property lies just outside of the thriving town of Billericay, where fast rail links whisk commuters into London Liverpool Street in under 35 minutes. Yet from the doorstep, you're quickly immersed in a more pastoral world. Barleylands Farm and Showground is within close proximity, hosting annual country shows, dog agility events, and equine displays that give the area a lively rural heartbeat.

Families will enjoy regular days out at Lake Meadows, countryside walks on nearby bridleways, and the vibrant local calendar of Essex rural shows, including the Orsett Show, Monster Country Festival in Basildon, and the celebrated Country Calling festival at Hylands Park.

Inside, the home itself provides a blank canvas- Comfortable, functional, and ready for renovation or redesign to suit your needs. The multiple outbuildings present exciting potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents, whilst the overall plot is a dream for those craving outdoor space to expand into, whether that’s for family, animals, or enterprise.

This is a property that invites vision. Whether you're looking to live closer to nature, build a lifestyle business, or simply stretch out in peaceful surroundings, this wonderful home offers space, character, and opportunity in equal measure, all within moments of town and country alike.
