Summary - 42 WHITEHOUSE ROAD, SOUTH WOODHAM FERRERS, CHELMSFORD CM3 5PF
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Walkable commute and top-rated primary school — ideal starter home.
Three bedrooms with practical, easy-to-maintain layout
Set just a short walk from South Woodham Ferrers station, this three-bedroom end-terrace makes an approachable first home with clear potential to personalise. The living room and kitchen offer a practical layout for everyday life, while a 40ft south-facing rear garden provides a sunny outdoor room for children, pets or summer entertaining. Woodville Primary School, rated Outstanding, is within easy reach — a genuine selling point for young families.
Accommodation is tidy and functional and the property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a private garage in a nearby block. The overall footprint is modest at about 851 sq ft, which keeps running costs lower and makes upkeep straightforward. Council Tax Band C and a freehold tenure add to the practical appeal for buyers seeking predictability in costs and ownership.
There are trade-offs to consider. The plot and internal rooms are small-to-average and there’s a single family bathroom, so space-conscious buyers should check the layout in person. Broadband speeds are recorded as slow, which may matter for homeworking, and the garage is detached in a block rather than en-suite to the house. The property is being sold with the Balgores Reservation Agreement — buyers should review what this entails before committing.
Overall, this is a sensible, well-located starter home with room for cosmetic improvement and modest refurbishment to add value. It will suit first-time buyers who prioritise location, school access and a manageable project to personalise rather than a turnkey, larger family residence.
