Set in a sought-after Writtle cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom detached house offers generous, family-focused accommodation across two floors. The layout includes two reception rooms, a conservatory, and a kitchen/breakfast room that opens onto a substantial 50' x 65' rear garden — ideal for children, pets and outdoor entertaining.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite, with three further good-size bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. Ground-floor living is versatile with a bright living room, separate dining room and a handy cloakroom. The property is presented in good decorative order and is ready for immediate occupation.
Externally there’s a block-paved driveway, integral garage and mature, low-maintenance front planting. The plot is notably large for the area, offering scope for garden improvements or extensions (subject to planning). The village location places Hylands Park, local schools and Chelmsford’s amenities within easy reach, while mainline rail links provide straightforward commuter routes to London.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 1980s and, while well maintained, may benefit from modernisation in parts to suit contemporary tastes. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area, and council tax is high — factors to weigh for homeworking or high running-cost considerations.
