Summary - 26 Broughton Road, South Woodham Ferrers CM3 5YX
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot, double garage and top school catchments—ideal for growing families.
Six bedrooms across three floors, including ensuite to master
Set in a sought-after Chelmsford suburb, this six-bedroom detached house is aimed at growing families who need flexible space, good parking and strong school catchments. The property sits on a large plot with a substantial driveway and a double garage, offering convenient off-street parking and useful storage.
Arranged over three floors, the layout includes a bright entrance hall, separate lounge and dining room, kitchen with utility and internal garage access. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite; two further double bedrooms occupy the top floor, giving options for guest rooms, a home office or a hobby space. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime support family life and working-from-home needs.
Important practical points: the house dates from the 1980s and presents a relatively compact 1,615 sq ft for six bedrooms, so some rooms are tighter than newer equivalents. There are only two bathrooms (one ensuite plus a family bathroom) which may be limiting for larger households. The property appears well maintained externally (double glazing, filled cavity walls) but may benefit from internal modernisation and updating of services to suit contemporary tastes.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to secure a freehold detached family home in a comfortable, affluent suburb with excellent schools, strong connectivity and a large plot. Buyers seeking generous outdoor space and multiple reception rooms will find clear appeal; those requiring generous internal room sizes or multiple bathrooms should factor potential refurbishment and layout changes into their plans.
