Description

This detached home, situated on a substantial plot, offers ample space for renovation and customization, presenting a rare opportunity for those looking to create a personalized family residence in a desirable area. The property is set back from Halstead Road and features an expansive driveway that can accommodate multiple vehicles, providing both convenience and privacy. As you enter through the enclosed porch, you are greeted by a spacious reception hall that leads seamlessly into the home's various living spaces. The ground floor includes a large living room that overlooks the rear garden, making it an inviting area for relaxation. The dining room, conveniently located adjacent to the well-equipped kitchen, has potential for transformation; with the right permissions, these two spaces could be combined into an open-plan layout ideal for modern family living and entertaining. The kitchen boasts an extensive range of units and generous work surfaces that include a breakfast bar. Attached to this area is a utility room with direct access to the garden—a practical feature for busy households. A cloakroom off the reception hall adds further convenience. Upstairs features a central landing leading to four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom stands out with its dual aspect windows, fitted wardrobes, and en-suite bathroom, while the additional bedrooms provide flexible options for family needs or guest accommodations. The outdoor space is particularly noteworthy. The mature gardens are well-maintained and provide a peaceful environment filled with established trees and plants. There is significant potential here to extend the home at the rear (subject to planning permission), allowing you to enhance your living space without sacrificing outdoor enjoyment. A double garage adds valuable storage and parking options, accessible from a side road; it includes two up-and-over doors along with a pedestrian entrance that leads directly into the garden. Located in Gosfield Village—a charming area in northern Essex—this property benefits from its proximity to Braintree (around four miles away) where mainline train services connect directly to London Liverpool Street in approximately one hour. Nearby Halstead is just two miles away, while towns like Colchester and Chelmsford are also within easy reach. The village itself boasts historic charm alongside modern developments and offers amenities such as local pubs, golf courses, playing fields, nature trails, as well as educational institutions including Gosfield Community Primary School and St. Margaret’s Preparatory School which caters to children aged 2-11 years. This property not only presents an appealing family home but also represents an excellent investment opportunity in a sought-after location with great renovation potential.
