The former water tower in High Garrett, north of Braintree, has been approved to be transformed into a unique residential property. The ‘Grand Design’ project will offer accommodation across three levels of approximately 3,444 sq ft, with an option to add another level within the original structure. Once completed, the tower includes four bedrooms, with individual en-suite facilities, arranged over the ground and first floor.
The second floor will include the a reception space with an open plan design and private terrace. A family and kitchen area will be located on the third floor, added by a utility room and an creatively designed mezzanine. The former water tower can be accessed from Lyons Hall Road over a private gated drive.
Plans include a proposed garden area to the northern and eastern sides of the home, with space for parking to the front. In total, the site measures less than 0.1 acres, excluding the drive.
Property agent Karl Manning said: “A truly one-off opportunity to provide contemporary, urban living within a unique building.” Anyone interested in viewing the property is advised to be aware of hazards currently at the site. Viewers must be physically fit and able to climb ladders, wear suitable footwear, and children will not be allowed to attend the appointed viewings, where visitors may be required to wear safety equipment to access the property.
The development is listed with property agents at Savills at an excess of £400,000. Anyone interested in.
