This 1936 Wells Coates and David Pleydell-Bouverie designed property offers an abundance of character and charm. The design was created for the Daily Mail ideal home exhibition, and with only around 15 built, this is one of a small number of Sunspan properties that are still in existence today. This is a fine example of an art deco property and at the time it was created, represented luxury, glamour and exuberance. The property even features on the Chadwell St Mary Wikipedia page – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chadwell_St_Mary
The property is also advertised on the evening standard, URL can be found here – https://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/property-news/art-deco-essex-house-virtually-unchanged-since-the-1930s-up-for-auction-a122796.html
Whilst some modernisation has taken place since, the house still retains most of its original features including built-in-cupboards, sliding plywood doors and the embellished brick fireplace. The property delivers on what it was originally designed to do, which as the name “Sunspan’’ suggests, is to allow maximum sunlight into the home. The spacious, well-proportioned and well-lit rooms represent the free planning associated with the modernist movement.
The accommodation briefly comprises of: To the ground floor there is an entrance hallway which features several original built-in-cupboards, a kitchen, dining room, large reception room and snug. There is also a pantry and downstairs W.C. To the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom with separate shower room and W.C.
Sunspan is set in around 3.5 acres of green belt land which features a courtyard and garage and offers fantastic views across the countryside and over to the River Thames. Not only does the interior offer originality and charm, but within the grounds you will also find surprises, one of them being a WW2 Air raid shelter, giving you the opportunity to own a piece of History.
Being of Sunspan design and construction we would advise that lending is in place prior to bidding if you are purchasing through a mortgage. (More information on the property can be reviewed in the document listed above titled – Sunspan details)
Development: Whilst the current land is Green Belt, there is a 30% overage agreement placed on the sale, should the buyer wish to develop on this land in the future.
