About
McCartney Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this impressive and particularly versatile four-bedroom detached family home, situated along the highly regarded Southborough Road within the heart of Old Moulsham.
Extending to approximately 1,812 sq ft including the garage, the property offers an excellent balance of living, bedroom and ancillary accommodation.
The ground floor is centred around a spacious entrance hall and includes a superb sitting room measuring almost 20ft in length, a separate dining room, additional family room and a modern fitted kitchen.
A ground-floor WC and useful lobby complete the accommodation at this level. The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
One of the property's particular strengths is its outside space and parking.
A generous private driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a substantial double garage measuring approximately 17'2" x 14'7".
To the rear is an established garden, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature planting and boundaries, providing an attractive outdoor space with scope for a new owner to landscape and personalise.
Southborough Road occupies an excellent position within Old Moulsham, with the independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs of Moulsham Street close by, together with Chelmsford city centre and its mainline railway station.
The area remains particularly popular for its combination of established residential surroundings and proximity to the centre of the city.
Offered for sale with the significant advantage of no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a sizeable detached home in one of Chelmsford's most established residential locations.
