Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a blank canvas for those eager to transform a property into their ideal home. Conveniently located near Chelmsford City Centre, this residence not only features spacious living areas but also boasts significant potential for refurbishment and modernization according to your personal style. The property's advantageous position allows for easy access to local shops, cafes, restaurants, and leisure facilities, making it an excellent choice for families or commuters. With great transport links including the A12 and railway stations nearby, commuting to London is straightforward. The property is set back from the road with a front garden that holds the potential for conversion into off-road parking. Inside, the entrance hall leads to two well-sized reception rooms that offer flexible options for living and dining spaces. The kitchen at the rear opens out onto the garden. On the upper floor, you'll find three good-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom and separate WC; there’s also loft access available for additional storage. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn and includes a brick-built shed for extra storage needs. Although this home requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout, it provides an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property they can personalise in a desirable location within Chelmsford.
