Introduction - Situated along the desirable Church End Lane in Runwell, this spacious four-bedroom semi-detached chalet bungalow occupies a generous plot and presents an exciting opportunity for developers, investors and buyers seeking a property with genuine development potential.
The standout feature of this property is the benefit of approved outline planning permission for an additional detached residential dwelling within the grounds. The accompanying indicative plans illustrate a three-bedroom detached bungalow, offering the potential to create a separate residential property alongside the existing home, subject to approval of reserved matters and compliance with the relevant planning conditions.
Planning permission was granted by Chelmsford City Council under application reference 26/00310/OUT, providing an excellent starting point for purchasers wishing to explore the site's development potential.
The opportunity may appeal to purchasers considering a development project, those seeking a long-term investment or families exploring the possibility of creating independent accommodation for relatives.
The Existing Property - The existing chalet bungalow offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate dining room adjoining the fitted kitchen.
To the rear of the property is an impressive lounge measuring approximately 21'2" x 16'6", featuring a character fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden, creating a bright and comfortable living space.

The existing independent driveway provides off-street parking for numerous vehicles, while the grounds currently benefit from a detached double garage with power and lighting and a separate garden room, offering additional versatile space.
The plot's size and configuration are particularly attractive, with the approved outline planning permission presenting the opportunity to create a further residential dwelling within the grounds. The approved proposal includes the demolition of the existing garage.
