About
Guide Price £475,000 - £525,000 Tucked away within the highly sought-after Chelmer Lea development in Great Baddow, this beautifully presented four-bedroom semi-detached home is the kind of property that instantly feels welcoming the moment you step through the door.
Offering generous living space, character features, and a garden made for long summer evenings, this is a home perfectly designed for modern family life with a little extra personality.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the spacious lounge, where stunning parquet flooring adds timeless charm and warmth - the perfect spot for cosy movie nights, Sunday lounging, or entertaining friends in style.
Flowing effortlessly through to the dining area and impressive kitchen, the layout works brilliantly for both everyday living and hosting.
The kitchen itself is a real standout feature; wonderfully spacious with ample storage and workspace, plus a breakfast bar that practically demands morning coffees, catch-ups, and late-night chats over a glass of wine.
To the rear, the conservatory offers an additional versatile living space with lovely views over the garden, creating the ideal reading nook, playroom, or sunny retreat.
Step outside and you’ll quickly understand why this garden is something special. Not overlooked and wonderfully private, it provides a peaceful escape from busy day-to-day life.
The charming pergola draped in beautiful mature wisteria adds a real touch of romance and “Instagram-worthy” character - a dream setting for summer BBQs, outdoor dining, or simply unwinding under the flowers with a coffee in hand.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms offering flexibility for growing families, guest accommodation, or working from home.
The home further benefits from gas central heating throughout, while the loft is easily accessible via a pull-down ladder and has been fitted with rafters and insulation, providing excellent additional storage space.
