Substantial 3210 sq ft family home with large plot and twin garages
Set on a substantial plot in sought-after Chalklands, this large detached family home delivers flexible accommodation across two floors plus a self-contained first-floor annexe. The ground floor offers a wide entrance hall, cloakroom, study, and an expansive sitting/dining room that opens to the garden — ideal for family life and entertaining. A modern fitted kitchen and large utility room connect to a covered parking/storage area and twin garages, providing extensive parking and workshop space.
Upstairs there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, an en-suite and a stylish shower room, with good built-in storage throughout. The first-floor annexe has a private entrance, open plan living with kitchenette, a bedroom/dressing area, shower room and a balcony — perfect for multi-generational living, long-stay guests or rental potential. Lift access to the annexe improves accessibility and convenience.
Thoughtfully located for transport, the property is a short drive to Chelmsford city centre with fast rail links to London and easy access to the A12/A130. Local schools, green spaces and village amenities are nearby, supporting comfortable family life in a semi-rural setting. Broadband speeds are fast and the home is on mains gas central heating.
Practical considerations: the house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and likely benefits from targeted updating or reconfiguration to increase value. Walls have assumed partial cavity insulation and double glazing was fitted after 2002, but some modernisation may be needed. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall this is a substantial, versatile home with strong family and multi-generational appeal in a prestigious neighbourhood.
