A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire this distinctive converted church, occupying a generous plot of just over one acre in the semi-rural setting of Dunton, close to Brentwood and Basildon.
Offering an abundance of character, individuality and enormous potential, this fascinating property retains a number of original architectural features, adding to its charm and historic appeal.
