This well-presented four-bedroom detached home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Chelmsford, arranged for modern family life. The extended open-plan kitchen and family room is the heart of the house, flooded with light from Velux skylights and finished with timber-effect units, quartz worktops and a breakfast bar — a practical space for cooking, dining and relaxing.
Three good-sized first-floor bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and a modern en suite to the principal second bedroom, while a flexible ground-floor fourth bedroom works well as a guest room, home office or playroom. Practical touches include a cloakroom, utility cupboard and a large shed in a landscaped, low-maintenance rear garden that opens directly from French doors.
The property benefits from a private stoned driveway with ample off-street parking, mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing and a decent plot size. It’s close to well-regarded primary and secondary schools, local shops and Chelmsford city centre, with strong mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for commuters and homework alike.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the house was built in the late 1960s–1970s and has double glazing installed before 2002, so some updates may be desired over time. Council tax is above average for the area, and local recorded crime levels are high — factors to weigh for family safety and ongoing costs. Overall, the home offers contemporary living, space for children and flexible rooms for a growing family looking for peace and convenience.
