This detached four-bedroom home on Newlands Spring is arranged over two storeys and offers practical family living with a double-length driveway, single garage and a landscaped, largely private rear garden. The open-plan kitchen/dining space and separate living room with a feature open fire create sociable ground-floor areas, while three double bedrooms and an ensuite on the principal bedroom suit family routines. The property is freehold, about 1,189 sq ft, and EPC rated C.
The house has useful energy and comfort features: double glazing throughout, filled cavity wall insulation and a boiler installed within the last five years (serviced annually). There are three WCs in total (including downstairs cloakroom and ensuite), plus good storage including understairs space and garage eaves. The driveway and garage provide secure off-street parking.
Notable positives are balanced by local and maintenance realities. The area is recorded as having higher local crime and wider area deprivation indicators; buyers should factor neighbourhood safety and insurance implications into their decision. The property itself appears well maintained but, given its 1980s build and average overall size, buyers should expect typical mid-life maintenance and to confirm dates of some installations (e.g., glazing). Council tax is above average.
This home will suit buyers seeking straightforward, move-in-ready family accommodation in Chelmsford with good local schools and transport links to the city and mainline rail. It also offers scope for modest updating or personalization rather than a full renovation.
