3 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

A rarely available detached bungalow in need of modernisation with equestrian facilities and 2.67 acres of grounds (stls)  

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This type of equestrian property rarely comes to the market and with lapsed planning consent to extend into the loft, it really does offer a fabulous opportunity for an incoming buyer to extend/ refurbish and put their own stamp on the property. Located just a five-minute drive of Pitsea railway station (that provides a commute into London in circa 40 minutes) it will appeal to discerning buyers that commute into the city. Buyers must note that modernising, updating and all general works have already been considered when setting the guide price.

What the Owner Says

We feel really lucky to have lived here for the past 14 years, the equestrian facilities and grounds have allowed us to fulfil our dream of having an eclectic range of animals live at home with us, whilst having such good access into London has been a real bonus. The time has come to move on to pastures new and allow another family to enjoy the wonderful lifestyle that this property offers.

History & Background

This 3 bedroom detached bungalow is believed to have originally been constructed in the 1920’s with subsequent additions in the 1980’s. The deceptively spacious accommodation incorporates three bedrooms, all serviced by a generous family bathroom, whilst the two reception areas are serviced by the kitchen/ breakfast room and adjoining utility room.

Externally the property comes alive and is superbly set up for a family that enjoy outdoor pursuits, with the stabling complemented by two parcels of land, that combined extend to 2.67 acres (stls).

Whilst the bungalow is generally functional with double glazing and gas fired radiator heating, the price has been set with due anticipation that the incoming buyer will likely want to modernise, fit a new bathroom and kitchen, as well as potentially extend.

Setting & Location

The property is located in Five Bells, on the outskirts of the village of Vange, four miles South – West of Basildon and provides excellent access onto the A13, A127 and M25. Pitsea Station is located just 1.8 miles away providing excellent links into London’s Liverpool Street.

Situated opposed is the Basildon golf course, perfect for golf enthusiasts, whilst Langdon Hills and Westley Heights country parks are located close by, providing a wonderful, scenic and tranquil setting for walking your dogs.

The community is also horse-friendly, with some excellent hacking, nearby stables for equestrian enthusiasts and within a very short road hack there is access to Langdon Hill country park where there are numerous bridle paths for hacking all year.

The Property

A central UPVC front door leads to the entrance lobby with the entrance hallway located in the inner sanctum of the property, a useful space that could quite conceivably be utilised as a study area if required. Situated Adjacent, is the dining room with a dual fireplace separating both reception areas and allowing access to the sitting room, a bright, airy, spacious room with attractive open fireplace and sliding doors boasting some splendid views over the rear grounds.

All three bedrooms benefit of fitted wardrobe cupboards and are situated in the West wing of the property, two generous bedrooms in the front section with the principle bedroom residing in the rear, a generous room with sliding doors out onto the rear terrace, perfect for enjoying your morning cup of coffee in the Spring/ Summer months.  The East West wing boasts a good size kitchen with adjoining utility room and the main bathroom that services the bedrooms.  

Grounds & Stabling

As you approach the front to the property there is a large driveway providing off street parking for four or five vehicles and space for a horse box with the attached car port located directly in front of you.

To the rear, the grounds are a particular feature with two immediate vast terrace areas, facing South they are perfect for basking in the sun all day during the Summer months and adjoin the immediate rear grounds that incorporate two pear trees, an apple and fig tree. The main paddock is situated directly behind the formal grounds, with the stabling nestled in the far rear corner and although there are currently two boxes in situ, we understand when planning permission was obtained it was permitted for four stables, therefore should the incoming buyer require an additional two stables planning is already in place.

A short walk across a country track provides access to an additional parcel of land, whilst this area is currently largely overgrown, with some work this would make an excellent space for a further paddock if required. In total the grounds extend to 2.67 acres (stls).
