Finished to a beautiful standard throughout, the property offers a seamless blend of character, comfort and contemporary design, making it truly ready to move straight into.

Families will appreciate the easy access to reputable schools, while commuters benefit from close proximity to the city centre, station and major road links, all within a short drive.
On the ground floor, you are welcomed by an inviting entrance hall which leads to a separate living room at the front of the property, ideal for cosy evenings.
Moving through the home, the layout opens up into a superb family room and a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living area at the rear.
This impressive space is the true heart of the home, flooded with natural light and opening directly onto the garden through bi-fold doors.
A separate utility space provides additional practicality with internal access to the garage, while a convenient WC completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with its own modern en-suite shower room.
There are two further double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom, currently used as a home office, alongside a contemporary family bathroom.
Externally, the rear garden features a patio area perfect for entertaining and a lawned section ideal for children. To the front, the property benefits from driveway parking and an integral garage.
The home sits within catchment for local primary schools, Great Baddow High School, Moulsham High School, and is within easy reach of the renowned Chelmsford Grammar Schools.
