The Fox Inn, London Road, Rivenhall, Witham, Essex, CM8 3HB

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial former public house occupying an impressive plot of approximately 1.6 acres, including extensive rear land and a sizeable car park, situated in the highly desirable village of Rivenhall with excellent access to Witham, the A12 and surrounding Essex towns.

The former Fox Inn is currently a derelict public house offering enormous scope for redevelopment, refurbishment or repurposing, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. The property benefits from mixed-use status, with business rates and council tax currently payable, creating a range of possibilities for investors, developers and commercial operators seeking a project with significant upside potential.

The site enjoys the advantage of two separate access points, enhancing its development appeal and providing flexibility for future site layouts, vehicle access, commercial operations or residential schemes. The substantial rear land and existing parking facilities further increase the scope for a variety of potential uses.

This is an exceptional opportunity for developers looking to explore residential redevelopment, mixed-use schemes, commercial premises, hospitality ventures, serviced accommodation, care-related uses, storage facilities or alternative business concepts, subject to obtaining the relevant planning approvals. The prominent roadside position and generous plot size make the site particularly attractive for those seeking to unlock value through redevelopment or change of use.

Whether your vision is to restore and reinvent the existing building, create a commercial hub, develop residential units, or establish a unique business venture, The Fox Inn presents a versatile canvas with considerable potential in a well-connected Essex location.
