A characterful three-bedroom period home in a quiet cul-de-sac, ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking commuter convenience. The house retains many original features — bay window, ornate fireplaces and original flooring — giving immediate charm and kerb appeal. The well-landscaped rear garden with patio and decking extends the living space and offers private outdoor room for entertaining or play.
The layout includes two receptions plus a kitchen and a family bathroom serving three bedrooms. Chelmsford station, city centre amenities and parks are all within easy reach, with frequent trains to London Liverpool Street (around 35 minutes), making this a practical choice for commuters. The property is freehold and presented ready to personalise.
Practical points to note: the home is a smaller-footprint urban property with one bathroom and a compact plot, so storage and extension potential are limited. The house is of solid-brick construction typical of the 1900–1929 era and insulation levels are unknown — upgrading thermal performance could be worthwhile. The area records above-average crime, which buyers should consider alongside local benefits.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful period home that suits buyers seeking a move-in-ready property with scope to add value through targeted updates (insulation, modernisation). For commuters and those wanting proximity to Chelmsford’s schools and amenities, it offers an attractive balance of period charm and practical location.
