What this property offers
About this property
Situated along the highly desirable Broad Road on the edge of the historic village of Bocking, this detached bungalow enjoys a peaceful semi rural setting whilst remaining conveniently close to Braintree's excellent amenities, schools, transport links and shopping facilities.
The existing bungalow offers spacious and versatile accommodation with three bedrooms, generous reception space and excellent natural light throughout. Although the property would now benefit from modernisation, it provides the perfect blank canvas for buyers looking to create a home to their own specification.
For those seeking something even more substantial, the property benefits from planning permission having been granted (Application Ref: 26/00626/HH) for an impressive transformation into a five-bedroom chalet bungalow. The approved plans include a single-storey front extension, a part two-storey side extension and roof alterations, creating an exceptional family home whilst making the very best of this wonderful plot and countryside setting.

The uninterrupted rural views create an exceptional sense of peace and privacy, making this an ideal home for families, professionals working from home, downsizers seeking a quieter lifestyle or anyone wishing to enjoy the beauty of the Essex countryside.
The surrounding area offers an abundance of picturesque walks and country footpaths, making it perfect for dog owners, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. Just moments away is the historic village of Bocking, renowned for its attractive period properties, strong community spirit and beautiful rural surroundings.
The magnificent St Mary's Church, one of Essex's finest medieval churches, forms the heart of the village, while the iconic Bocking Windmill remains a much loved local landmark and reminder of the area's rich heritage. Residents also enjoy the popular Bocking Village Club, which hosts a variety of social events and community activities throughout the year, creating a welcoming village atmosphere.
Families are particularly well served by the location, with highly regarded schools nearby, excellent road connections via the A120 and M11, and regular bus services providing convenient access to Braintree town centre, Braintree Village, Chelmsford, Halstead, Colchester and surrounding villages. Braintree railway station offers services towards London Liverpool Street via Witham, making this an attractive location for commuters seeking countryside living without sacrificing connectivity.
Properties offering this combination of a detached bungalow, open countryside views, generous plot, planning permission and a highly sought after Bocking location are exceptionally rare to the market.
Whether you are looking to modernise, extend or build your dream forever home, 150 Broad Road represents a unique opportunity to secure an outstanding property in one of the area's most desirable locations.

"The property enjoys a delightful outlook over open farmland to both the front and rear. At the time of marketing, we are not aware of any granted residential planning permission affecting the land immediately to the rear of the property. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves by making their own enquiries with Braintree District Council."
