Set well back from the road, the house already offers well-proportioned accommodation with a welcoming lounge featuring a fireplace, a kitchen opening into a separate dining room, and direct access to the rear garden.
The layout provides an excellent foundation for modernisation or extension, with planning permission already approved to create an additional bedroom, en-suite and dressing room - Planning Application no.
24/00960/FUL Positioned within the highly desirable village of Danbury, the property enjoys a convenient and family-friendly location.
Local shops, a pharmacy, doctors surgery and everyday amenities are all within walking distance, while regular bus services and easy access to Chelmsford City Centre and the A12 make commuting straightforward.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a well-sized single bedroom, all served by a family bathroom.
The existing layout is both practical and comfortable, with clear potential to reconfigure or expand to suit a growing family. Externally, the property truly excels.
