Description

Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac within the desirable Chelmsford area, this three-bedroom terraced home presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. The property features spacious living areas, a good-sized rear garden, and potential for further enhancement, making it particularly appealing to families, first-time buyers, or savvy investors looking for value. Upon entering, you are greeted by an entrance hall that leads to a bright living space with a feature fireplace and large front window. The kitchen at the rear offers views over the garden and direct access outdoors, promoting a functional layout ideal for modern family life. Recent renovations include a new boiler installed in 2024 with a 10-year warranty, enhancing energy efficiency. Upstairs contains three bedrooms: two decent-sized doubles and one smaller single that could serve as an office or child’s room. Although some elements of the bathroom will need updating—which can be addressed prior to sale—this presents an opportunity for customization to suit personal taste. The generous rear garden includes both patio and lawn areas alongside a brick-built outbuilding, providing ample outdoor space for various activities. There is significant potential for extending the ground floor (subject to planning permission), allowing future owners the chance to expand their living space. Located conveniently close to Chelmsford city centre with easy access to well-regarded local schools, parklands, and shopping amenities, this property also benefits from proximity to Chelmsford railway station offering quick transport links into London Liverpool Street—ideal for commuting professionals.
