About
Occupying a generous plot along the highly sought-after Elm Green Lane, this three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with immense potential in one of Danbury's most prestigious and established residential settings.
Offered sold as seen and priced to reflect the level of modernisation required, this is the perfect project for buyers looking to create their dream home in a truly exceptional location.
Properties in this part of Danbury are always in demand, thanks to the attractive surroundings, excellent amenities, highly regarded schools and convenient access to Chelmsford and surrounding villages.
The accommodation currently extends to approximately 1,232 sq ft and offers well-proportioned rooms throughout.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway leading to a spacious dual-aspect lounge measuring almost 22ft in length, providing excellent living and entertaining space.
There is a separate dining room overlooking the front aspect, a fitted kitchen with direct access to the garden, and a conservatory which enjoys views over the rear garden and offers further scope for improvement or integration into the main living accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom and two further well-sized bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom and separate WC.
The layout lends itself well to reconfiguration and enhancement, allowing purchasers to modernise and adapt the space to suit contemporary family living.
Externally, the property sits on an attractive plot with considerable potential.
To the front, there is an existing driveway and lawned garden; however, the frontage offers ample scope to create extensive off-road parking for several vehicles if desired.
A detached garage with double opening doors provides excellent storage or workshop space, whilst an attached outbuilding is currently utilised for storage and offers further versatility.
The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature. Whilst it currently requires attention, the space on offer is impressive and provides the perfect blank canvass for landscaping enthusiasts.
With imagination and investment, this garden could be transformed into a stunning outdoor retreat to complement the property. Opportunities such as this are increasingly rare.
For buyers seeking a home they can truly make their own, in a location where renovated properties command significant values, this property represents an exciting prospect.
The combination of a substantial plot, excellent room proportions, garage and outbuildings, together with the prestigious Elm Green Lane address, makes this a property not to be missed.
This is a fantastic renovation opportunity in one of Danbury's premier locations, offering endless potential to create a truly outstanding family home.
