Description

Situated in the charming village of Little Leighs, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a promising canvas for those looking to invest in a renovation project. The property is in need of modernisation, presenting a unique opportunity to tailor the living space to your personal taste and requirements. With no onward chain and generous accommodation throughout, this home provides significant potential for enhancement (subject to obtaining necessary consents). The layout includes an entrance hall leading into three spacious double bedrooms, a shower room, kitchen, conservatory, and a sizeable lounge/dining room that spans the full depth of the property. This dual-aspect lounge/dining area is bright and versatile, featuring an attractive stone fireplace at its centre and patio doors that invite natural light while connecting you with the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with ample wall and base units, complete with integrated appliances such as a double electric oven and ceramic hob. It also includes tiled flooring and direct access to an adjoining covered lean-to that could serve as additional utility space or dining area. Each of the three bedrooms offers generous proportions; bedroom one benefits from fitted wardrobes and large windows, while bedroom two faces the front of the property. The part-tiled shower room includes essential fittings such as an enclosed shower cubicle with an electric shower, low-level WC, and pedestal wash hand basin. Outside, the property boasts a well-maintained lawned front garden enclosed by timber fencing and mature hedging. A wide driveway allows for off-road parking for multiple vehicles while granting access to the rear garden. The rear garden features primarily lawn space with potential for further landscaping or even extensions—subject to planning consent—and backs onto open land for added tranquillity. Little Leighs is known for its appealing rural atmosphere yet remains conveniently close to Chelmsford’s city centre amenities, including shopping options, dining venues, top-rated schools, and public transport links. Excellent road connectivity via nearby A120, A131, and A12 enhances accessibility to London and beyond.
