3 3 1

Situated along the ever-popular Lady Lane, within the established residential area of Old Moulsham, is this attractive three-bedroom detached chalet-style bungalow, offering an exciting opportunity for those seeking a home with considerable potential, generous outside space and the flexibility to make it their own.

The property occupies a particularly generous plot, with an extensive rear garden, substantial driveway parking and a detached garage/workshop.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a comfortable lounge overlooking the front, a separate dining room, a fitted kitchen with access to the rear garden, a family bathroom and a generously proportioned double bedroom featuring an attractive exposed brick fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden.

Undoubtedly, one of the property's most appealing features is its impressive rear garden. Extending a considerable distance from the house, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by established shrubs, mature hedging, planted borders and pathways. A timber summerhouse occupies a pleasant position towards the far end, whilst a substantial detached timber garage/workshop provides excellent additional storage or space for hobbies and projects. To the front, the generous driveway offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with gated side access leading towards the rear.

Lady Lane is conveniently positioned within Old Moulsham, one of Chelmsford's most desirable and established residential areas. The property is well placed for local shops, schools and everyday amenities, whilst the popular Moulsham Street, with its independent cafés, restaurants and shops, is also within easy reach. Chelmsford city centre and mainline railway station offer a wider selection of shopping, leisure and transport facilities, including regular rail services into London Liverpool Street.

For buyers seeking a detached home with genuine potential, a substantial garden and an established Old Moulsham address, this property represents a fantastic opportunity. Whether looking to modernise gradually or undertake a more comprehensive refurbishment, there is considerable scope to create a wonderful long-term home, with potential for further alteration or extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

An internal viewing is strongly advised to fully appreciate the accommodation, plot size and possibilities on offer.Room Descriptions
