Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
The site would make a good investment for a forward thinking person/company looking to create a landmark development as it comes with full detailed planning for 8/9 Detached Houses sitting within a secure courtyard setting. Should development not on the agenda, this Farm also offers a rare opportunity for a Commercial site as well - for storage, workshops or a progressive mixed use application.
Being on the edge of South Weald, Frenches Farm also enjoys a prime location just a few minutes from the well respected St Peter's Church of England Primary School and just few minutes journey time from Brook Street Roundabout and Junction 25 of the M25.
The Farmhouse was constructed in 1988 and over time, stables with a livery yard and a farm shop have been added.
The stables, livery and farm shop are grouped tightly within the centre of the site, with smaller buildings aligning the site boundaries to the North.
Grazing land surrounds, and it has been acknowledged that the site, due to its historic use as a Farm with associated outbuildings, can be defined as 'Previously Developed Land'.
In 2021, Brentwood Borough Council gave Permission in Principle for the demolition of existing Farm buildings, with exception of the existing Farm House, and the construction of up-to 9 large executive dwellings with associated access.
Its well worth noting, we have been told there is £0 CIL or S106 payments to Brentwood council which is undoubtedly a significant financial bonus.
Pre-application advice was sought for the demolition of the existing collection of buildings - 1238sq m, and their replacement with some 8 dwellings (instead of 9) covering a footprint of no greater than 1000sqm of land.
If you are not looking to development the site immediately, there MAY be potential for a further uplift by revising the planning/appeal to get the 9 houses and also achieve the larger footprint which was granted at the outline planning stage.
Several of the proposed properties have a Ridge Height of 28ft to give the potential of being three-storey, while others have a generous Footprint of 1400 ft.².
The vision is for you to create sizeable, high spec executive homes within an exclusive Gated Development of 8 new homes PLUS the existing Farmhouse.
To assist with adding even greater appeal to potential buyers and giving uplift in values, the Land Owner is also prepared, by separate negotiation, to provide further land to enable a private residents 'Park' to be created.
The current scheme details a permitted 916 m2 (9859 sqft) footprint of development excluding the existing Farmhouse,
Its worth noting that in addition to having the convenience of the A12 and M25 being within close proximity, this is also a lovely rural setting on the edge of South Weald, with picturesque woodland backdrops and wildlife in abundance.
Please note, the current owners are happy to work with interested parties and allow any agreement to be subject to full planning.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 17, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
