This spacious four-bedroom detached home on Wood Street is arranged over two floors and presented in excellent condition, ready for family living. The ground floor offers a 26ft dual-aspect lounge, a large family/dining room with full-height bi-fold doors and roof lantern, plus a fitted kitchen, utility and a versatile snug/office with separate access — useful for home working or independent use. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite; two further bedrooms and a WC occupy the first floor.
A standout is the landscaped rear garden with a large porcelain-tiled patio, level lawn, putting green and a powered garden room/gym, creating strong indoor–outdoor flow for children and entertaining. The ‘in-and-out’ driveway provides parking for approximately six cars, a rare plus close to Chelmsford city centre and local schools. The property is freehold and totals about 1,947 sq ft, making it genuinely roomy for a growing family.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 1950s–60s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading insulation could reduce running costs. Council tax is above average for the area. Local statistics indicate higher-than-average crime levels nearby, which buyers should factor into their decision. Any extension or major change to the plot would be subject to planning permission.
For families wanting good school access and easy commuting — Chelmsford station c.1.7 miles and the A12 nearby — this is a comfortable, flexible home with significant outdoor space and useful ancillary accommodation. Internal inspection is recommended to appreciate the accommodation and garden at close quarters.
