About
McCartney Sales & Lettings are delighted to offer for sale this stunning and extensively improved period end-of-terrace home, situated in the established and highly convenient Seymour Street area of Chelmsford.
Behind its attractive traditional brick façade lies a home that has been thoughtfully enhanced and beautifully presented, successfully retaining the charm expected of a period property whilst introducing a fresh, bright and contemporary finish.
Sash-style windows, decorative coving, panelled walls and attractive joinery provide character throughout, while the crisp neutral décor creates a wonderfully light and welcoming feel.
The ground floor is dominated by the superb open-plan lounge/dining room, providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The room enjoys attractive wood flooring and ample space for clearly defined sitting and dining areas, while the striking spiral staircase provides an eye-catching focal point and access to the first floor.
To the rear, the kitchen has been comprehensively modernised and provides an impressive amount of preparation and storage space.
Finished with white cabinetry and contrasting timber-effect work surfaces, the kitchen incorporates a range of integrated appliances and enjoys excellent natural light from windows to the side and rear.
A door provides direct access into the rear garden, making the arrangement particularly practical for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months.
The first-floor accommodation is equally well presented.
Bedroom one is a comfortable double room with a sash-style window, attractive decorative detailing and extensive fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage while retaining a clean and uncluttered appearance.
Bedroom two is another well-proportioned room and benefits from fitted storage, a sash-style window and direct access through to the bathroom.
Its proportions make it ideal as a second bedroom, guest room, nursery or home office depending upon individual requirements.
The bathroom is particularly generous for a property of this style and is fitted with a white suite comprising a panel-enclosed bath, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
Extensive wall tiling, a heated chrome towel rail and a sash-style window complete this bright and well-appointed room. Externally, the property continues to impress.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide an attractive yet wonderfully low-maintenance outside space.
Paved areas are complemented by decorative stone borders, raised timber edging, planting and a decked seating area positioned towards the rear, creating an excellent setting for outside dining, relaxing and entertaining.
To the front is an enclosed garden with attractive black picket-style fencing and a pathway leading to the entrance door, complementing the traditional appearance of the house.
Overall, 5 Seymour Street represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a particularly attractive period home that has already undergone considerable improvement.
The combination of character, presentation, generous living accommodation and a landscaped garden makes this a property that truly deserves an internal viewing.
