21, Aldridge Close, Chelmsford, CM2 6QG

Guide price £375,000 - £400,000 More space, more sunshine and a few clever surprises up its sleeve...

Tucked away along Aldridge Road in the ever-popular Chelmer Village, this three-bedroom end-of-terrace home has a lot more going for it than first meets the eye.

With an extended ground floor, a south-facing garden, garage, allocated parking and even scope to make further changes in the future, this is a home that's ready to grow with you.

Step inside and you'll find a good-sized lounge with plenty of room to kick back, put your feet up and debate whose turn it is to choose what’s on TV.

There's also handy storage beneath the stairs – because, as we all know, you can never have too much storage! Head towards the rear and this is where things get particularly interesting.

The house has been extended to create an additional reception room opening from the kitchen, giving you a wonderfully sociable space for dining, entertaining or simply spreading out.

Sunday roasts, Friday night drinks, homework at the table or a quiet morning coffee – there's room for all of it.

The kitchen features attractive Shaker-style units together with an integrated oven and grill, while its open connection with the extended reception space means whoever is cooking doesn't have to miss out on the conversation.

And here's a little hidden bonus... A previous owner had a ground-floor WC but decided they'd rather have additional cupboard space.

The WC was removed, but the plumbing is understood to remain in place, giving the next owner the opportunity to potentially bring the cloakroom back to life if they'd prefer a loo to a cupboard.

Decisions, decisions!

Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and the family bathroom, which is fully tiled and features a waterfall shower head – perfect for waking yourself up in the morning or washing away the working day.

Outside, the garden has one particularly important word attached to it: South-facing. Sun worshippers, gardeners and BBQ enthusiasts, take note.

With its sunny aspect and useful side access courtesy of the end-of-terrace position, it's a great space for entertaining, relaxing or letting the little ones burn off some energy while you enjoy something cold from the fridge.

Parking shouldn't cause an argument either.

There's one allocated parking space as well as a garage with an up-and-over door, giving you that all-important extra parking or storage space for bikes, tools, boxes and all the other things that mysteriously accumulate over the years.

The practical boxes are ticked too, with a combination boiler and useful under-stairs storage.

And if three bedrooms aren't quite enough for your long-term plans, there may even be potential to explore extending into the loft, subject of course to the necessary planning permission, building regulations and consents.

All in all, this is a home that offers much more than the standard three-bedroom layout.

Extended living space, a south-facing garden, garage, parking, side access and future potential – all wrapped up in a Chelmer Village location. The only thing missing? Your furniture...

And perhaps the BBQ. Chelmsford offers a fantastic blend of city convenience and suburban living, making it a popular choice for families, professionals and commuters alike.

The city centre provides an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, alongside attractive green spaces and plenty of places to enjoy a weekend wander.

Chelmsford is particularly well connected, with its mainline railway station providing direct services into London Liverpool Street, while the A12 offers convenient road links towards London, Colchester and the wider Essex area.

Families are also well catered for with a good choice of schools and educational facilities throughout the city.

With bustling city amenities, excellent transport connections and beautiful Essex countryside never too far away, Chelmsford manages to offer the best of both worlds – plenty going on when you want it, and room to escape when you don't.

Nothing here counts as a contract or statement of fact-get your solicitor to check all the serious stuff, like tenure, parking, planning permission, building regs, and all that jazz! Measurements?
