About this home

*** Guide Price £485,000 - £500,000 *** Occupying an exceptional plot of approximately 1/3 of an acre, this unique and deceptively spacious three-bedroom detached home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with outstanding outdoor space in one of Bocking's most desirable locations. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property enjoys a generous, private setting with beautifully established gardens that are seldom found in homes of this type. The true highlight of this superb residence is its expansive, unoverlooked rear garden, occupying a magnificent plot that offers an idyllic retreat for families, keen gardeners and those seeking space to entertain or simply enjoy the outdoors. Beautifully stocked with a variety of mature shrubs, established planting and fruit trees, the garden provides an exceptional level of privacy, while the overall plot offers significant scope for substantial side and rear extensions, allowing purchasers the opportunity to create a truly exceptional long-term family home, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Internally, the property offers flexible and well-proportioned accommodation throughout. The ground floor comprises an inviting living room featuring a large bay window, a generous double bedroom which could equally serve as a second reception room, a cloakroom, and a recently refitted kitchen/dining/family room that forms the heart of the home and enjoys direct access onto the impressive rear garden. The first floor offers two further spacious double bedrooms, both served by a stylishly refitted four-piece family bathroom. Externally, in addition to the magnificent gardens, the property benefits from a double-length tandem garage and a substantial driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Situated within the highly regarded village of Bocking, on the northern side of Braintree, the property enjoys a sought-after setting renowned for its historic character, attractive listed buildings, local amenities and excellent transport links. Combining generous internal accommodation with an outstanding plot approaching one-third of an acre, exceptional privacy and excellent potential to enlarge the property through extensive side and rear extensions (STPP), this is a rare opportunity to secure a home offering space, flexibility and exciting future potential.
