4 bed detached house for sale

Stacey Drive, Langdon Hills, Basildon, Essex SS16

Exceptional Luxury Residence with Approved Development Opportunities. Occupying a commanding corner plot at one of the highest points in the Langdon Hills area, this outstanding newly renovated family residence offers over 3,000 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, complemented by impressive panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and Nature Reserve.
Approaching final completion certification, the property has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment and modernisation, creating a family home that seamlessly combines timeless character with contemporary luxury. Of particular note, the current owners have secured full planning permission (Ref: 25/01036/full) for the construction of a substantial additional dwelling of over 3,000 sq ft on the side plot, complete with its own independent access and detached garage. Further approved planning permission (Ref: 23/01359/full) allows for the conversion of the existing roof space into an impressive additional suite, cinema room, or self-contained accommodation, offering significant future flexibility and value.
The quality of workmanship throughout is immediately evident. The property benefits from a complete professional rewire, a newly installed pressurised plumbing system featuring an instant hot water return system, a new clay-tiled roof, and high-specification flush sash double-glazed windows with floating mullions, designed to maximise natural light and showcase the spectacular views.
The ground floor is finished with elegant Italian porcelain herringbone tiling throughout, complemented by a water-fed underfloor heating, while engineered oak flooring and bespoke detailing create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. A striking entrance hallway, illuminated by a substantial skylight, sets the tone for the accommodation beyond.
The impressive formal living room provides a wonderful space for entertaining, featuring decorative fibrous coving, wall panelling, and a magnificent wood-burning stove set within an authentic Victorian cast-iron fireplace. Large aluminium French doors open directly onto the elevated terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy stunning sunsets and far-reaching views.
At the heart of the home lies the exceptional open-plan kitchen and dining space. Designed and handcrafted to an exacting standard, the bespoke kitchen features hand-painted cabinetry, premium quartz worktops, an extensive range of integrated appliances, and a substantial central island. A bespoke inglenook fireplace with pot filler and decorative tiled splashback provides a striking focal point, while expansive aluminium French doors spanning more than five metres create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. An adjoining utility and boot room benefits from further bespoke oak cabinetry and convenient side access.
Above the garage, an additional area accessed via a full staircase offers versatile potential accommodation suitable for a home office, games room, media room, guest bedroom or playroom. Architectural plans have also been prepared demonstrating how this area could be converted into a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with minimal additional works.
The first floor is centred around a spacious galleried landing, enhancing the sense of scale and luxury. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a vaulted ceiling, a walk-in dressing room with automatic lighting and extensive storage, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a walk-in spa shower. A further guest suite benefits from its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, while two additional double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a cast-iron bath, wet-room style flooring and underfloor heating.
Externally, the landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a series of outstanding entertaining spaces. A covered pergola seating area with power supply provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, complemented by a bespoke stone barbecue area complete with marble worktops, gas and charcoal barbecues, and a sink with running water. As evening falls, the firepit area creates an inviting atmosphere for social gatherings.
An open gym occupies a decked area within the garden and could easily be repurposed as additional garaging if required. Beyond this lies a beautifully stocked ornamental pond surrounded by mature planting, ferns, alpine flowers and rockery features, all visible from the elevated terrace above.
To the side of the property, an extensive additional garden area offers excellent space for recreation, children's play facilities or future landscaping. The grounds flow effortlessly towards the surrounding countryside, creating the impression that the property extends into the vast acres of protected Nature Reserve beyond. With miles of Country Park walks directly accessible from the doorstep, the setting offers an exceptional blend of privacy, lifestyle and natural beauty.
A rare opportunity to acquire a landmark family home with luxury finishes, substantial accommodation, approved development potential, and one of the most enviable positions in the area.
