Set on a generous 0.17-acre plot in Howe Green, this detached four-bedroom house provides almost 2,000 sq ft of family space with a double garage, driveway parking and an established, private rear garden. The principal bedroom includes a dressing room and en-suite; a guest bedroom above the garage has eaves storage and scope to add a second en-suite (subject to consents). The property is offered chain free, making it straightforward to progress.
The home requires modernisation throughout, offering clear potential for value uplift through updating the kitchen, bathrooms and finishes. Constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the house has double glazing and cavity walls but currently uses oil-fired central heating; buyers should budget for ongoing running costs and potential heating upgrades. Council tax is described as expensive.
Positioned a few minutes from the A12/A130 and within about four miles of Chelmsford city centre (mainline services to London in ~40 minutes), the location suits families seeking village life with easy commuter access. Local schooling options are within reach and the plot offers scope to extend (subject to planning), making this an attractive project for a growing family or buyer looking to renovate for long-term gain.
