Description

Occupying approximately 15.5 acres in a private and secluded position on the outskirts of Althorne, Essex, close to Latchingdon, this truly unique six-bedroom detached residence offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a forever family home, multi-generational living, a business venture, investment project, or potential future development opportunity (subject to the necessary planning consents).

Accessed via a gated entrance, the property enjoys complete privacy and an impressive range of accommodation and outbuildings rarely found on the open market. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen featuring a log burner, creating a warm and inviting space for family life. One of the property's standout features is the stunning indoor swimming pool complex, which is directly connected to the house and beautifully viewed through large glazed doors from the kitchen, creating a striking focal point and offering year-round enjoyment.

The main residence provides extensive living accommodation, while a well-presented two-bedroom self-contained annex benefits from its own lounge, modern kitchen, and bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, independent living or guest accommodation.

Outside, the possibilities are endless. The grounds include extensive open land, a substantial builders' yard, and two impressive aircraft hangars/workshops. The larger hangar measures approximately 72ft x 33ft, while the second measures approximately 54ft x 22ft, offering outstanding space for storage, commercial operations, vehicle collections, workshops, agricultural use, or a variety of business ventures.

Further enhancing the property's versatility is a detached three-bedroom cabin, perfect for accommodating visiting family and friends, generating Airbnb income, or providing additional living space. A large mobile home is also situated within the grounds, adding further flexibility and potential.

Despite its private rural setting, the property is exceptionally well connected. Althorne railway station is located nearby, providing direct services into the heart of London in approximately 57 minutes, making it an attractive option for commuters seeking countryside living without sacrificing accessibility. A bus stop conveniently positioned outside the property offers direct routes to both Chelmsford City Centre and Maldon, further enhancing connectivity to the surrounding area. Families will also appreciate the proximity of the highly regarded Child's Day Nursery, providing a convenient and nurturing environment for younger children.

About eXp UK, South East

114 St. Martin's Lane London WC2N 4BE

eXp UK are the newest estate agency business, powering individual agents around the UK to provide a personal service and experience to help get you moved.

Here are the top 7 things you need to know when moving home:

Get your house valued by 3 different agents before you put it on the market

Don't pick the agent that values it the highest, without evidence of other properties sold in the same area

It's always best to put your house on the market before you find a property

The estate agent acts for the seller and is there to get the seller the best price possible

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture

Be nice to estate agents - we're pretty nice people, offer some great advice and will help to get you moved ;-)
