About this home

HUGE POTENTIAL (STPP) | SUBSTANTIAL PLOT | STUNNING FIELD VIEWS | THREE-BEDROOM DETACHED FAMILY HOME | EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE YOUR DREAM HOME | MATURE REAR GARDEN | GARAGE & OFF-STREET PARKING | SOUGHT-AFTER UPMINSTER LOCATION

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom detached family home occupying a substantial plot, enjoying an attractive outlook across open fields and offering huge potential to create a truly exceptional home, subject to planning permission and the necessary consents. Situated in a highly sought-after Upminster location, this property presents an exciting prospect for buyers looking to renovate, modernise or explore the possibilities of extending to suit their own requirements.

With generously proportioned reception space, three well-sized bedrooms, a mature rear garden backing onto open field views, off-street parking and a garage, the foundations are here for a wonderful long-term family home. Whether you are a growing family with a vision for the future or a buyer seeking a property with scope to add value, this is an opportunity not to be overlooked.

THE ACCOMMODATION

Upon entering, the property offers a practical layout with exciting scope for personalisation, allowing a purchaser to create a home tailored to their own taste and lifestyle.

The principal reception space is the generously sized through lounge and dining room, providing excellent versatility for both relaxing and entertaining. With ample room to create distinct seating and dining areas, this is a substantial living space with the potential to become the heart of a beautifully reimagined family home.

To the rear, the kitchen enjoys an outlook over the garden, offering a pleasant connection with the outdoor space. This provides an excellent starting point for anyone considering a contemporary kitchen redesign or exploring how the existing layout could be enhanced as part of a wider renovation project.

A convenient ground-floor WC adds everyday practicality and is a welcome feature for family living and visiting guests.

The first floor accommodates three great-size bedrooms, offering flexibility for family members, guests or those requiring a dedicated home office. The proportions provide a useful foundation for a home that can evolve alongside changing needs.

The accommodation is completed by a two-piece family bathroom and a separate WC, offering a practical arrangement with scope for a purchaser to consider modernising or reconfiguring the facilities to suit their preferences.

A SUBSTANTIAL PLOT WITH EXCITING POTENTIAL

One of the property's most compelling features is the substantial plot, offering a wonderful opportunity for buyers to explore the possibilities available, subject to planning permission and the necessary consents.

For those with a vision, there may be scope to investigate extending or reconfiguring the existing accommodation to create a larger, more contemporary family home. Any proposed works or development would need to be independently assessed, with the relevant permissions obtained before proceeding.

The existing house offers a starting point for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a property, while the generous plot and attractive setting make this a particularly exciting prospect in a sought-after residential location.

Established greenery creates an attractive backdrop, while the field views beyond the garden offer a particularly desirable outlook that sets this property apart.

There is ample opportunity to enjoy the garden as it stands or consider landscaping it to complement a future renovation. From outdoor dining and summer entertaining to creating a family-friendly space, the garden offers plenty of scope to make it your own.
