55ft rear garden with patio, lawn and mature apple tree.
Off-street parking; brick-built garage/store with limited vehicle access.

Excellent potential to extend, subject to planning and consents.
Set on one of Chelmsford’s most sought-after Avenues, this well-presented 1930s semi-detached home fits family life and school runs with ease. The ground floor has been opened up into a bright, refitted kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances and engineered oak floors, flowing to a 55ft rear garden — a versatile outdoor space for play and entertaining.
Three good-sized bedrooms and a modern family bathroom sit on the first floor, with a pleasant front lounge featuring a bay window. Practical additions include a ground-floor cloakroom and off-street parking; a brick-built garage/store provides useful storage though it has limited vehicle access.
There is clear scope to extend, subject to the necessary consents, which would add significant living space or value. The sellers have improved the interior substantially, but note that a past internal layout change was not signed off to current building regulations; the sellers are arranging quotes to replace upstairs windows to meet fire-safety standards and are willing to discuss next steps with buyers.
Overall this is a comfortable, newly renovated family home in a very affluent, well-connected neighbourhood close to Chelmsford station and two outstanding grammar schools. Buyers should be comfortable progressing minor compliance work and considering insulation improvements to the solid brick walls if desired.
