3 bed 1 bath Detached
Well-presented three-bed home with landscaped garden backing onto allotments — no onward chain..
Detached three-bedroom family home backing onto allotments and open aspect
A mid-20th-century detached family house set on Ongar Road in sought-after Writtle, with a landscaped rear garden backing onto allotments and low-level countryside beyond. The ground floor offers a generous lounge with bay window and log burner, a large open-plan kitchen/dining room with quality fittings and a conservatory that leads to the patio — a layout well suited to family living and entertaining. There is off-road parking and a garage with power and water, plus useful storage throughout.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating and a modern family bathroom. The garden is a standout feature, with specimen planting, pergola dining area and a powered summerhouse. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it easier for a swift purchase.
Notable considerations: the house dates from the 1950s–1960s so some owners may wish to budget for age-related maintenance or updates over time. There is a single family bathroom and three bedrooms (one smaller), which may limit larger families seeking more bathrooms or space. Council tax is above average and the plot is modest in size despite the attractive open rear aspect.
Overall this is a well-presented, comfortable village family home that will suit buyers wanting immediate occupation, good outdoor space and easy access to Writtle village amenities and nearby Chelmsford.
