6 bed detached house for sale

Kirby Hall Cottages, Kirby Hall Road, Castle Hedingham, Halstead CO9

Detached house requiring extensive renovation in a glorious semi-rural setting.

Description
Informal Tender Friday 3rd July 12:00pm Cash buyers only.

A 1920s house in need of comprehensive renovation, set in about 0.8 of an acre in a semi rural position north of Castle Hedingham.

Built in 1920, with various alterations over the years, including a recent double garage, this detached family home offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a substantial project in a delightful semi rural setting. The property requires complete renovation and has structural issues, meaning it is not suitable for mortgage finance. As such, the sale is aimed at cash purchasers, developers and those looking for a significant refurbishment or redevelopment opportunity, subject to the necessary consents.

The existing accommodation extends to approximately 2,708sq ft, arranged over two floors, with a further 374sq ft provided by the detached double garage. The ground floor includes a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, large dining room, generous sitting room, study, entrance hall and shower room. The first floor provides six bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with ensuite, together with a family bathroom, additional en suite shower room and a landing giving access to a balcony.

The property is offered for sale by Informal Tender, with offers to be submitted by Friday 3rd July 12 noon. Tender documentation and viewing arrangements are available on request.

Outside
Outside, the house is approached over a gated driveway providing parking and leading to the double garage. The house sits centrally within its plot, surrounded by established trees and lawned areas that create an attractive sense of privacy.

The property is connected to electricity, with private water understood to be provided via Kirby Hall Farm, served by a well and pumping station. Drainage is via a private system which we understand is non compliant. (Please note under current legislation the private drainage system will need replacing with a compliant treatment plant and it will be the responsibility of the incoming purchaser to install this.)

Location
The property is located to the north of Castle Hedingham, in a semi-rural position, along Kirby Hall Road.
