Overview ***guide price £700,000 to £750,000***
Set on a generous and rarely available central plot in the heart of Tiptree, this unique property offers an exceptional combination of space, flexibility and future potential. Comprising a four bedroom detached main house, a substantial three-bedroom detached annex and established gardens backing onto woodland, it presents a rare opportunity for multi generational living, lifestyle buyers or those seeking longer-term development potential.

Step inside The four bedroom detached main house opens into a welcoming hallway with understairs storage and oak flooring, which in turn leads directly into the lounge/living dining room (22'3" x 11'9"). This generous space also features oak flooring, a striking central open fireplace and French doors opening onto the patio.

The kitchen (15'2" x 9'2") is fitted with traditional cabinetry, laminate flooring, integrated appliances, a gas hob, oven and Aga, along with a pantry cupboard. This is complemented by a utility room (10'0" x 5'9") providing space for a washing machine and dishwasher, also fitted with laminate flooring, and featuring a stable door to the side.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a cloakroom, a snug/home office (approx. 11'0" x 10'7") with laminate flooring and a cast iron Victorian fireplace, and a charming garden room (10'9" x 9'5") with feature arched windows overlooking the gardens.
To the first floor, the landing gives access to bedroom one (13'4" x 12'0"), bedroom two (12'0" x 8'7"), bedroom three (9'8" x 7'7"), bedroom four (12'0" x 6'10"), and a family bathroom with panelled bath, shower over and heated towel rail.

Step outside Externally, the property is approached via a gated, secluded shingle driveway, with side access leading to extensive established gardens laid mainly to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and flowers, a block paved patio, and a woodland backdrop, further enhanced by a cart lodge (18'0" x 9'2"), cycle store, log store, dog kennel, chicken pen, small stable block and workshop.

Importantly, the plot has previously had full planning permission for redevelopment (now lapsed) and benefits from preparatory utility works, underlining the significant future potential of this rare and compelling opportunity to live in, grow into, or completely reimagine over time.
