This substantial six-bedroom detached home sits on a very large corner plot of approximately 0.33 acre, offering flexible family living across about 2,673 sq ft. Versatile reception rooms, a large conservatory and well-proportioned bedrooms give space for multigenerational life or home working. The landscaped rear garden, paved terraces and ornamental pond create an attractive, private outdoor entertaining area.
Practical advantages include an integral garage with driveway parking for multiple cars, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The property is well placed for highly regarded local schools and countryside walks, and is roughly two miles from Chelmsford mainline station, making it suitable for commuting families.
A recently passed planning permission (ref 25/00934/FUL) allows a first-floor rear/side extension with balcony, ground-floor rear extension and garage conversion plus a new porch — presenting clear scope to enlarge living space or add value. The house’s mid-20th-century construction means there is further potential to update interior finishes and services to modern tastes.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property likely requires routine updating in places given its 1950s–66 build era; the ornamental pond and conservatory spaces will need ongoing maintenance; and council tax is reported as quite expensive. Overall, this is a sizable, adaptable family home on an exceptional plot with planning consent that supports future improvement.
