Description

A substantial detached farmhouse of just under 4,700 sq ft, positioned at the entrance of an exclusive new development of nine homes in Woodham Ferrers. A rare opportunity with significant scope for value creation, either through refurbishment of the existing dwelling or redevelopment of the plot, subject to planning.

Set within a generous plot fronting Main Road, the property enjoys direct access without travelling through the new development. The farmhouse sits prominently at the front of the site, benefiting from privacy, a large garden, parking, and room for a double garage (STP).

The accommodation extends to almost 4,700 sq ft (floorplan attached), offering exceptional potential for those looking to create a substantial family home. The house is not being developed by the current owner and is offered as a standalone opportunity for a buyer to transform to their own specification.

Beyond refurbishment, the plot may also offer potential for future planning uplift. Subject to the necessary consents, buyers may explore options for redevelopment, including alternative dwellings on the site. The combination of size, position and surrounding new homes means the property lends itself to several future scenarios, all with strong potential for uplift.

Purchase terms:
The seller is seeking a swift, commitment-based transaction. Buyers will need to proceed on a cash basis, with exchange of contracts targeted for January 2026 and completion anticipated for June 2026. Preference will be given to those who can meet these timescales.

Woodham Ferrers offers a semi-rural lifestyle with convenient access to South Woodham Ferrers, Burnham-on-Crouch, Chelmsford and surrounding villages. Rail links, schooling, country walks and local amenities are close by.
