Description

This two-bedroom end-of-terrace period cottage presents an appealing investment opportunity in the desirable area of Old Moulsham, Chelmsford. Positioned directly across from a historic church, the property boasts charming views that enhance its character. Spanning approximately 78 sq. m (838 sq. ft.) over two levels, the cottage retains many original features such as exposed brickwork, timber beams, and wooden flooring, all contributing to its inviting atmosphere. Inside, the layout includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to a sitting room with bay window views and a traditional fireplace—ideal for relaxation or entertaining. The centrally located dining room seamlessly connects to the kitchen, which features essential appliances and offers access to the private rear garden. Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized, with the master bedroom benefiting from elevated views of the church. The versatile lobby area adds potential for conversion into a home office or dressing space. While the bathroom showcases period charm with wood paneling and exposed brickwork. The exterior offers a low-maintenance garden with side access and future potential for off-road parking at the front (subject to local permissions). This property not only has immediate charm but also excellent scope for renovation—updating any outdated fixtures or enhancing living spaces could significantly increase its value. Located within walking distance of amenities including shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as close proximity to Chelmsford’s mainline train station for easy commuting to London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes. With its blend of historical appeal and modern potential, this cottage is well-positioned for both owner-occupiers and investors alike.
