Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this well-proportioned three-bedroom detached home offers straightforward family living with clear scope to add value. A bright lounge and separate dining room sit alongside an updated kitchen, and the unoverlooked rear garden provides privacy and space for children to play or for a future extension (subject to planning).
Practical benefits include a single garage, carport and driveway parking for 2–3 vehicles, plus a recently refitted boiler (under one year old) and newly refitted cloakroom and shower room — all useful for a busy household. The layout and plot are typical of 1950s–1960s suburban builds but the property already has modern touches like an induction hob, integrated appliances and areas of original parquet flooring.
There is genuine potential to extend (STPP) or modernise further to increase living space and value, but buyers should note that any extension will require planning permission. The property sits in Council Tax Band E, which is above average; while the home is in good overall condition, some decorative updating would benefit future-proofing and maximise the plot’s potential.
Location is a strong selling point for families: good local primary and secondary schools nearby, quick access to Chelmsford city centre and the mainline station, and easy routes to the A12. This is a practical family purchase for those who want a private garden, solid garage/parking provision and the freedom to improve or extend over time.
