Single-storey living with scope to extend and modernise.
Chain free detached bungalow on a large plot
This detached three-bedroom bungalow sits on a generous plot in a peaceful semi-rural setting, offered chain free and ready for someone wanting single-storey living with scope to improve. The layout is practical: a rear lounge with conservatory leads out to a west-facing garden, and the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite. Off-street parking is plentiful on the carriage driveway and a separate utility room adds practical storage and laundry space.
The house dates from the mid-century and has many original features; the kitchen and some internal fittings are dated to the 1970s–1980s and will suit a buyer prepared to refurbish. There is clear potential to extend to the rear or into the loft subject to planning permission, which offers a realistic route to add more living space or reconfigure rooms for modern family needs.
Location is a key strength: the property is about 4 miles from Chelmsford city centre with easy A12 access, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Hylands Park, Galleywood Common and other open countryside walks are within easy reach, and nearby schools include Good and Outstanding-rated options for families.
Practical considerations: any buyer should allow budget for updating the kitchen and cosmetic modernisation, and for the planning process if extending. The bungalow’s single-storey design, large plot and quiet setting make it well suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a calm home with improvement upside.
