- Planning approval to add first-floor extensions and 1-bed flat
- Double garage plus carport; garage conversion potential

- Property requires modernisation and interior updating

This roomy four-bedroom detached house sits on a generous corner plot in Chelmer Village, offering comfortable family living with considerable scope to personalise. The house currently provides three reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, principal bedroom with en suite, and a mature rear garden with decked and paved seating areas.
Significant value sits in the planning approval to convert the garage into a one-bedroom flat and add first-floor extensions, creating either additional living space or an income-producing unit. The double garage and carport give flexible parking and conversion potential, while the sizeable plot allows extensions and landscaping projects.
The property is sold freehold but is in need of modernisation throughout; buyers should budget for updates to finishes and services. Note there is a high flood risk for the location and Council Tax is band F (expensive), which are material considerations for insurance and running costs.
Convenience is a strong selling point: well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby, Chelmer Village Retail Park and Chelmsford city centre are within easy reach, and transport links include local rail stations and the A12. For families or investors seeking space with redevelopment potential in a very affluent area, this home presents a substantial opportunity.
