Set back from the road on Sidmouth Road, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers practical single-level living and real scope to personalise. The entrance hall leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms, a living room with feature fireplace and sliding doors into a dining room, plus an adjoining office/sunroom ideal for home working. A detached garage and block-paved driveway provide useful parking and storage.
The bungalow requires modernization throughout: fittings, decor and some services will need updating to meet contemporary standards. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy efficiency improvements are likely necessary. Double glazing is installed but predates 2002 and may not provide modern thermal performance.
Outside, the low-maintenance rear garden and patio give a private, manageable outdoor space for relaxing or light gardening. The property is freehold, in a very affluent and low-crime area with excellent mobile and fast broadband — convenient for commuting and remote working. Local schools are rated Good and Chelmsford city centre and mainline station are within easy reach.
This bungalow will suit downsizers, small families or buyers seeking a single-storey home with renovation potential. Budget-minded purchasers or investors can add significant value through targeted energy upgrades and a contemporary refit, while retaining the practical, traditional layout and generous plot.
