Description

This detached family residence, situated on a spacious south-facing plot at the end of a private driveway, offers an excellent opportunity for both comfortable living and future enhancement. The property is designed with adaptability in mind, making it an ideal choice for families looking for a home that can evolve with their needs. Conveniently located near local schools and transport links, as well as Chelmsford city centre, it balances modern efficiency with classic appeal. Upon entering, you are greeted by a generous hallway that opens into a bright, open-plan living area tailored for family interaction and entertaining guests. The standout feature is the expansive 25ft triple-aspect sitting room, which boasts bi-fold doors leading to the garden, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living. An inviting lounge area features a wood burner, while the dining space connects effortlessly to a contemporary kitchen filled with high-end appliances. The ground floor is also equipped with a dedicated study area for remote work, along with practical utility and cloakroom facilities. Energy-efficient upgrades such as underfloor heating and solar panels enhance the home's sustainability. Upstairs are four bedrooms – three doubles and one single – including a principal suite complete with an en suite shower room. The family bathroom has been stylishly updated to cater to modern tastes. Additionally, a separate heated outbuilding enhances this property's allure with its newly installed kitchen and entertainment amenities; this space has great potential for use as a home office or guest suite. The expansive rear garden not only provides privacy but also features well-maintained lawns and areas for outdoor dining. Notably, there is scope to expand the house further (subject to planning permission), enhancing its value significantly; previous permissions existed for creating additional bedrooms alongside existing structures. With ample off-street parking available and located in the community-focused village of East Hanningfield — known for its charm and convenient access to key amenities — this property stands out not only as a comfortable family home but also as an investment opportunity awaiting renovation.
