This attractive four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house on New London Road offers generous family space across four floors plus a useful cellar. Period features include high ceilings, a fireplace and wood-styled floors in principal rooms, while the rear garden is south-facing and useful for summer dining and play. The property sits opposite St Cedd’s Prep and is about 0.5 miles from Chelmsford city centre, making it convenient for schools, shops and commuting to London.
The house is well laid-out for family life: dual-aspect sitting room, central dining room opening to a kitchen/breakfast room and garden room, plus a utility and cloakroom at ground level. Two double bedrooms (one en suite) and the family bathroom occupy the first floor, with two further bedrooms on the second floor. The cellar is fitted with power and light and could serve as a gym, office or home cinema, subject to planning and ventilation considerations.
Practical points to note: the EPC is rated D and original solid-brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so energy upgrades would be beneficial. There is off-street parking for two to three vehicles on block paving. The property lies in a conservation area and dates from the 1930s–40s, so some updating and careful refurbishment will preserve character while improving performance.
This home will suit families seeking proximity to strong local schools and city amenities, and buyers looking for period character with scope to modernise. Its location, garden and flexible cellar space give clear potential, but budget for energy improvements and tasteful updating to maximise long-term comfort and value.
