This extended four-bedroom detached house on Britten Crescent is a practical family home with real scope to personalise. Set on an unusually large 80' x 45' rear garden and an oversized garage with driveway, it suits families who need outdoor space and plenty of storage. With four reception rooms and both a ground-floor shower room and first-floor bathroom, the layout already supports flexible family life and home-working.
The property dates from the 1950s–1960s era and would benefit from some updating throughout; buyers should expect modernisation works to bring interiors up to contemporary finishes. There is clear development upside: potential for a double-storey rear and first-floor side extension (subject to planning permission) to increase living space and value.
Location is a strong selling point for families: within Great Baddow High School catchment, straightforward bus links into Chelmsford city centre and station, and roughly a 1.4 mile walk to the High Street amenities. Broadband speeds are fast and the area is very affluent, making this a sensible long-term family purchase.
Practical costs and considerations are honest and unavoidable — the property sits in Council Tax Band E and improvements or extensions will require consent and budget. The house is offered with no onward chain, allowing a quicker move for buyers prepared to take on refurbishment or extension work.
