Set on one of Chelmsford’s desirable tree-lined avenues, this 1930s semi-detached home offers generous family living with strong school catchment and easy city-centre access. The house combines period features—bay windows, high ceilings and a large reception—with a substantial rear garden and off-street parking with garage. The modern kitchen and bright reception rooms make day-to-day life comfortable while leaving scope for improvement.
Practical space includes two reception rooms, a garden room, utility and a floored loft reached by a fixed staircase. The loft provides useful storage or clear potential for conversion, but it is not currently converted to modern building-regulation standards and any change would need consent and upgrades. The property’s solid brick walls reflect its 1930s construction and, as built, there is no assumed wall insulation.
This home will suit growing families who value location, outdoor space and good schools; Chelmsford County High and King Edward VI Grammar are within the catchment area. It also offers potential for those seeking to add value through sympathetic updating and loft conversion, subject to the usual surveys and permissions.
Buyers should note the property needs some maintenance and updating: roof repair is indicated as a possibility, glazing install dates are unknown, and services and appliances have not been tested. Prospective purchasers are advised to obtain a full survey and check building regulations if planning alterations.
