Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with no onward chain and has been in the same family ownership since it was built. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, cloakroom and sitting room with a brick fireplace, alongside a kitchen and dining area. The first floor has two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a shower room and a separate WC. The property retains original features and is described as requiring modernisation, giving purchasers scope to update the interiors to their own requirements. The layout may also offer options for extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents.
Outside, the mature rear garden includes established trees and shrubs, with a workshop and shed providing storage or hobby space. Mature hedging screens the front of the property. The central Chelmsford setting is described as convenient for the city centre, railway station, local amenities and road links, with Central Park and Admirals Park nearby.

69out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £325,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced around 17% below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire in a convenient central Chelmsford location. It is a liveable but distinctly old-fashioned home: the dated kitchen and shower room, worn flooring and decoration provide a medium-scale canvas to modernise around the usable sitting room and traditional brick fireplace.
The mature, screened garden and workshop/shed add useful character, while the listing points to possible extension or reconfiguration subject to consents. The overall score is a C: there is value and scope here, though the project still needs careful planning to turn that into a strong result.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and shower room, then refresh flooring and decoration to give the home a more coherent, contemporary feel.
- Retain and make the most of the usable sitting room and its traditional brick fireplace as a character feature.
- The mature garden, workshop and shed offer useful outdoor space and storage; investigate the stated extension or reconfiguration potential subject to consents.
