78, The Drive, Chelmsford, CM3 6AB

If space, style and flexibility had a meeting... This would be the result.

Positioned along the ever-popular The Drive in Mayland, this beautifully presented three/four-bedroom semi-detached chalet bungalow delivers serious square footage, sleek interiors and a layout that adapts to your life - not the other way around.

Pull up onto the long private driveway (plenty of room for cars, vans, visiting in-laws - you name it) and you already know this one means business.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a bright hallway complete with underfloor heating - because cold tiles are so last season. The heart of the home?

A kitchen that genuinely deserves its own close-up shot.

Finished to a high standard with high-gloss cabinetry and luxurious quartz worktops, this is the kind of space that makes you suddenly want to host dinner parties. Or at least pretend you cook.

It’s modern, sharp and effortlessly practical.

The 20ft+ lounge is the definition of “room to breathe” - flooded with natural light thanks to triple glazing throughout, keeping things peaceful, warm and energy efficient.

Netflix marathons just got an upgrade. Now let’s talk flexibility (because this one’s clever). Downstairs you’ll find a huge room currently used as a shower room.

But here’s the twist - it’s large enough to easily become a generous ground floor bedroom with its own en-suite. Multi-generational living? Guest suite? Teenager retreat?

Home office that doesn’t feel like a cupboard? The choice is yours.

Upstairs, the chalet design continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a substantial principal room with fitted storage, plus a sleek first-floor shower room.

Growing family? Hybrid working? Hobbies that need space? Sorted. Practical bonuses? Of course.

Newly installed boiler Triple glazing throughout Driveway parking No onward chain (music to any buyer’s ears) And for families - you’re close to Maylandsea Primary School, making the morning dash that little bit easier.

Stylish. Flexible. Move-in ready. And chain-free. This isn’t just a bungalow - it’s a smart move waiting to happen.
