An Exciting Re-Development Opportunity on a Mature Plot of 0.44 of An Acre Three Bedroom Detached/Non-Standard Construction* Currently 1802 sq ft (167 sq m) Accommodation* Exciting Redevelopment/Replacement Opportunity STP* Substantial & Mature 0.44 Acre Plot* Cul-De-Sac off Nags Head Lane* All Mains Services Connected* Suits Cash Buyers Only* Rear Pole Barn 1322 sq ft (123 sq m) * Realistically Priced and Sought After Location* What We Say A superb opportunity for the incoming buyer with excellent potential for a replacement dwelling stp.
Due to its timber construction, the property is available to cash purchasers only, as it is unlikely to meet mortgage provider requirements.
Attractively priced as a building plot, and with an EPC rating of F, it does not meet rental criteria. However, the property is currently occupied and suitable for temporary living.
What the Owners Say This property has been in the same family since the mid 1950’s, alongside us bringing up our own family here from 1989.
The plot is extensive, and we have had all sorts of things from geese and chickens to rear open barn storage for vehicles.
The time has come to embark on new chapters, utilise time to right-size and travel.
History & Background This is a rare opportunity to acquire a generous site with no overage clause or clawback covenant, offering excellent potential for redevelopment.
The plot currently accommodates a sizeable, detached chalet-style home of 1802 sq ft and could, subject to planning, be transformed into a modern single dwelling — in keeping with neighbouring properties, including semi-detached homes and a mix of residential and commercial uses nearby.
The existing property is of non-standard timber construction and may require updating, making it particularly well-suited to cash buyers seeking a project with scope.
No planning applications have been made, allowing the incoming purchaser to shape their own vision from the outset. The property has been in the same family since the 1950’s.
Currently occupied, the property could also provide short-term accommodation during planning or pre-construction phases.
This is a flexible and exciting opportunity in a location that supports both residential and mixed-use development.
Setting & Location Nags Head Lane lies approximately 2 miles to the southwest side of Brentwood High Street, close for A12 and M25 access and approximately 4 miles north of Upminster.
The area is semi-rural, and the property is in a cul de sac position making it a quieter setting.
The house is set well back on its 0.44 acre plot with an extensive front garden area and a carriage style drive.
There is plenty of scope to create additional areas for parking as well as there being vehicle access to one side with grass covered hardstand access to the open pole barn at the back of the established plot.
