West Hanningfield, CM2 8UY

***Guide £1,000,000 - £1,100,000*** Two spacious detached bungalows in a highly sought after location with 0.79 acres (stls) with an optional addition of a 2 acre (stls) paddock included and delightful views over the surrounding farmland What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group In our experience, it is exceptionally rare for two substantial bungalows to become available on a single site, presenting a truly outstanding opportunity for multi-generational living, allowing families to enjoy both togetherness and complete independence.

Set within an idyllic rural location, the property nevertheless remains within easy reach of Chelmsford city centre and its mainline station, making it ideally suited to discerning commuters seeking convenient access to London.

What the Owner Says It has been wonderful to live here for over 20 years, during which time our children and now grandchildren have loved nothing more than exploring the surrounding countryside and observing the diverse range of wildlife regularly seen here.

For many years, we kept our horses at home in the adjacent paddock, so the option for the next custodians to acquire the paddock should they wish to keep their horses at home.
