Set on a highly favoured west-side road, this extended 1930s semi delivers family-sized accommodation close to the city centre, mainline station and top-rated grammar schools. The layout includes two reception rooms, an extended kitchen/breakfast room and four bedrooms across a split-level first floor, offering practical everyday space and easy flow into the long rear garden.
The property sits on a decent plot with off-street parking, an integral garage and a rear garden approaching 60ft, ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. There is clear scope to further extend or enlarge (subject to necessary consents), so the house will suit buyers wanting to add value or adapt the layout to contemporary needs.
Buyers should note some period-era and maintenance considerations: the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, the double glazing was installed before 2002, and council tax is above average. Any extension or structural alteration will require planning and building regulation approvals. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, with the boiler housed in a built-in cupboard on the landing.
In summary, this Tudor-revival semi offers strong family appeal and development potential in a very desirable Chelmsford location. It’s well placed for excellent schools and riverside walks, and will reward buyers prepared to update and personalise the home.
