Maldon Road, Hatfield Peverel, Chelmsford, CM3 2HH

First offered to the market since its construction in 1957, this three-bedroom detached property occupies a generous corner plot conveniently positioned close to the village amenities.

Although the residence would benefit from modernisation, it offers spacious and well-proportioned accommodation throughout.

Accessed via a welcoming entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor, the ground floor comprises two good-sized reception rooms together with a kitchen located to the rear of the property.

To the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a family shower room. The property also offers excellent scope for extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Set back from the road, it enjoys generous front and side gardens, while to the rear there is a driveway providing off-street parking and access to a garage and workshop, both of which may offer potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the relevant building regulations.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of this kind, and an early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.

History Of The Property In The Vendors Words - After my great grandfather died in early 1957 the decision was made by my great grandmother to loan her son and his wife the money to build Freshfields.

She sold her farm, Latneys and her son sold his farm which was across the road, Wood End and they all moved into Freshfields in September of the same year. It was such a special place to them all.

The photo of my great grandmother (80 by the time I was born) by the newly planted magnolia tree, just one of the many that bears testament to that.

The garden was always gorgeous, rows of sweet peas and runner beans by the driveway and lots of tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouses.

The surplus would be placed on a table by the front gate with an honesty box and sold. The house was always incredible, sun streaming into the hallway but winter was incredibly special.

The twinkling lights from the Christmas tree in the hallway, on the right as you come from the kitchen creating a beautiful twinkling light as you came downstairs.

Dining room was only ever used on Christmas Day for dinner before retreating into the sitting room where the open fire would be lit and the “big light” would go off.

The flames dancing prettily throwing out heat and the right amount of light after such an incredibly exciting day.

I can’t describe eloquently enough the feeling that I had during the times I spent there but magical is as close as I can get.

My great grandmother and my grandparents were incredible people who obviously contributed to that feeling but the house retains some of that magical energy.

I genuinely hope that whoever is lucky enough to buy this special home feels the love throughout it and if they are fortunate enough to create even half of the amazing memories I have of Freshfields they will be incredibly blessed.
