Summary - 43 OCKELFORD AVENUE CHELMSFORD CM1 2AW
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Well-located semi with outbuilding and large driveway near top schools.
Three bedrooms and family bathroom, suitable for family use
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Ockelford Avenue offers practical family living close to Chelmsford city centre. The ground floor includes a bright lounge, modern kitchen and a conservatory that opens onto a private rear garden — useful for summer dining and children’s play. A large driveway provides generous off-street parking for several cars.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom; the property is gas-heated via a boiler and radiators and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown) and external wall insulation over solid brick construction. A heated, electrified outbuilding provides flexible space for a home office, studio, or ancillary accommodation — a rare and valuable extra in this area.
The location is a strong draw: excellent access to Chelmsford’s shops, parks and direct trains to London, plus outstanding local secondary schools (including two grammar schools). That makes the house particularly suited to families prioritising school catchments and commuter convenience.
Be mindful of local context: this postcode sits in a very deprived, higher-crime neighbourhood classification, and the property is described overall as small (789 sq ft). Buyers should check the condition and age of windows, and any maintenance needed in the outbuilding if planning long-term habitation or rental use. Freehold tenure and the decent plot size improve long-term potential for modest extension or reconfiguration, subject to planning.
