Summary - 3 LONGACRE CHELMSFORD CM1 3BJ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private garden and countryside outlook; ideal for families wanting outdoor space.
Four bedroom detached family house on substantial plot
Set on a generous plot with open countryside to the front and a long, private rear garden, this detached four-bedroom house suits families who value outdoor space and good school access. The ground floor includes a generous lounge/diner with patio doors, a kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and a separate shower room — practical for busy households.
Internally the accommodation is modest in overall size (approx. 1,034 sq ft) and displays neutral, practical finishes; the build dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s so there is clear potential to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and decor to contemporary tastes. Parking is straightforward with an integral garage and driveway for one vehicle.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy walking distance to Writtle village, Hylands Park and a range of schools including King Edward VI and Chelmsford County High. There is no recorded flood risk.
Notable downsides are material and should be considered: the property sits in an area recorded with higher local crime levels and the council tax band is above average. While the plot and outlook are strong selling points, the house itself is relatively small for a four-bedroom detached and will likely need updating to unlock full value.
