Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial detached family home presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a bespoke residence in a prime city location. Although the interior shows signs of wear and is dated, the overall layout and generous plot provide a strong foundation for a project that can significantly enhance the property's value. The kitchen is functional yet could benefit from modernisation, while the well-maintained exterior and pleasant garden add to the appeal.

With an asking price of £675,000, this property is listed at £430/sqf, which is slightly above the local average of £421/sqf. While the price is not particularly low, it does offer a chance to add value through cosmetic updates and renovations. The potential for improvement, extension, or reconfiguration is notable, especially in a location that provides easy access to Chelmsford city centre and highly regarded schools. Buyers should consider this as an opportunity to craft a home that aligns with their tastes and needs.
