Description

This appealing five double bedroom detached home offers significant renovation and investment potential. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac within Great Leighs, the property features a detached double garage that is primed for conversion into a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The village itself boasts local amenities, traditional pubs, and scenic walking paths through nature reserves and along the Essex Way. Inside, the spacious entrance hall leads to a versatile office with bay windows and shutters that seamlessly connects to the lounge, which includes a feature fireplace and opens onto the rear garden through French doors. A secondary living room provides additional space for family activities or children's play. The large kitchen/dining area is designed for family living, equipped with integrated appliances and an island layout that enhances functionality; it also has direct access to the utility room. Upstairs features five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite with its own dressing area and an en-suite bathroom. Two of the bedrooms share a convenient Jack and Jill shower room. The property also benefits from extensive storage options including boarded loft space that holds potential for conversion (subject to planning). Recent upgrades include a new boiler ensuring efficient heating. The outdoor area offers a south-west facing garden mostly laid to lawn with patio and composite decking areas, complemented by mature shrubbery that provides privacy. A summer house adds charm to the garden space. This property is conveniently located near local primary schools and provides easy access to Chelmsford City Centre's amenities as well as transport links such as Park and Ride services and major roadways like the A120/M11.
