Description

Offered with a guide price of £700,000-£750,000

This charming four bedroom detached period home, built in 1910 by the renowned Bakers of Danbury, offers a rare opportunity to restore and enhance a property full of character and heritage. Set on a substantial double-width plot, the house retains many original features including fireplaces, generous proportions and a flexible layout, making it ideal for those seeking a home with both history and scope for future improvement.

Situated in the sought-after village of Danbury, the property enjoys an enviable position directly opposite the stunning Danbury Common, a 173-acre National Trust woodland. This exceptional setting combines village living with immediate access to open countryside, while remaining within easy reach of Chelmsford and surrounding mainline stations for commuters. The property also falls within well-regarded local school catchments, adding to its family appeal.

The ground floor offers remarkable versatility, with two double bedrooms to the left, each featuring fireplaces and equally suitable as reception rooms. To the right, the main lounge and dining area enjoy views across the garden, complemented by a fireplace and French doors opening outside. A connecting kitchen and a downstairs WC complete the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, a spacious landing benefits from views across Danbury Common and leads to two further large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, while the additional bedroom is served by the main family bathroom.

Externally, the property boasts a superb westerly facing garden measuring approximately 176ft in length and up to 91ft in width (STLS), including a swimming pool heated via solar panels. The existing garage could be removed to create a generous driveway while still allowing space for a new garage or cart lodge, subject to planning permission.

This four bedroom detached period home offers generous accommodation, a large plot, driveway parking and garaging, and outstanding potential for extension or renovation (STPP). Positioned opposite Danbury Common and close to village amenities and mainline rail links, it presents a unique opportunity to create a truly special home in a prime Danbury location.
