About
We’re hosting an open day on Friday 4th July, with viewings being carried out between 12:00pm and 4:00pm. A Unique Opportunity – Full Renovation or Rebuild in a Stunning Countryside Setting.
Set in the heart of the Essex countryside, Cloggers Cottage presents a rare opportunity for those with vision.
Nestled on just over half an acre of land, this property offers stunning rural views, ample outdoor space, and endless potential—whether you dream of restoring its original character or starting fresh with a new build (subject to planning permission).
The Property - Upon entering, you'll discover a cottage rich in history and potential, though it requires a complete and intensive renovation.
The exposed beams and original fireplace offer a glimpse of its former charm. The property features four generously sized bedrooms, providing ample space for a thoughtful redesign.
Whether you're eager to breathe new life into this period home or seeking a prime countryside plot for a brand-new build (STPP), this presents a rare and exciting opportunity.
The Outside - The true highlight of this Cottage is its expansive outdoor space, perfect for those who appreciate nature and a rural lifestyle.
The property offers approximately half an acre of land, offering a mix of mature trees, lawn and breathtaking countryside views, creating a peaceful and private haven away from the hustle and bustle.
There is ample off-street parking, ideal for multiple vehicles. The plot offers plenty of potential, whether you're looking to construct a new house (STPP), or lovingly restore the existing cottage.
The Area - Located in the heart of the Essex countryside, Spring Elms Lane offers a perfect balance of rural tranquillity and convenience.
Surrounded by rolling fields and scenic walking trails, the area is ideal for those who appreciate nature and a peaceful village atmosphere.
Despite its secluded feel, the property is well-connected, with nearby villages providing local shops, traditional pubs, and essential amenities.
Chelmsford, with its excellent schools, shopping, dining, and fast rail links to London, is just a short drive away, making this an appealing location for commuters and families alike.
Whether you’re looking for countryside charm or easy access to modern conveniences, this location offers the best of both worlds.
