3 bed bungalow for sale

Larcombe Mews, Main Road, Margaretting, Ingatestone CM4

3 bedroom detached bungalow sitting on a plot of approximately 0.4 acres, with planning approval secured via three separate Permitted Development Right (pdr) applications

Description
Set to the rear of the Larcombe Mews development in Margaretting, this attractive chalet bungalow occupies a substantial plot of around 0.4 acres and currently extends to approximately 1,350 sq.ft. Planning approval has been secured via three separate Permitted Development Right (pdr) applications, collectively allowing the property to be substantially extended to circa 2,800 sq.ft.

Proposal:

The approved scheme allows for an impressive eight-metre rear extension and side extensions of roughly 50% on one side and 25% on the other - a notable achievement given the site’s location within the Metropolitan Green Belt. These consents establish a valuable precedent for scale and mass, offering flexibility for a purchaser to either deliver the approved design or re-engage with Chelmsford planners to create a bespoke home of their own.

The bungalow sits behind five newly built houses at Larcombe Mews, with plots 4 and 5 directly in front. Their scale and prominence make a redesign of the rear plot a logical progression, although the property is offered unconditionally and as approved, with any future planning direction left to the purchaser’s discretion.

There is also scope to further enhance the site through additional pdr opportunities, such as a large single-storey ancillary building of up to 1,000 sq.ft or amendments to the existing garage. Together, these factors make this a rare and flexible opportunity - a substantial private plot with clear planning headroom, perfectly suited to a self-builder or developer looking to create something truly bespoke in an established and attractive setting.
