Guide Price £600,000 to £625,000This classic five bedroom 1930's family home is packed full of originality, with some great period features. The current owners have extended and then maintained the property to a high standard. Being set out over three floors, the accommodation is both versatile and spacious, with room for all the family to spread out and find their own space. The prestigious Avenues are well known and very sought after, popular for their tree lined appearance and uniformed character houses. The location is ideal for both of Chelmsford's boys and girls grammar schools and the city's train station with its short hop in to London Liverpool Street. Bond Street with its John Lewis and other popular stores is again readily accessible. GUIDE PRICE £600,000 TO £625,000 Drawing up outside this property there is an immediate sense that this is a quality home, the classic 1930's look is very evident with the arched storm porch and the box and oriel bay windows. The driveway which is block paved can comfortably accommodate several vehicles. Stepping into the storm porch there is a quarry tiled floor and the original front door is still in situ. There is a mixture of the old and new throughout this property, with many traditional original features merging well with more modern contemporary finishes. The hallway is a case in point with picture rails and a traditional stair runner with brass rods fusing with a contemporary floor tile, and relevant shades of grey. The dining room has it all with the box bay window, picture rails and the original 1930's art deco fireplace, the flooring is an engineered oak. The kitchen Breakfast room is a great room for family's and entertaining, a solid wood breakfast bar and work tops match in well with the oak flooring. A unique feature of this room is the glass block partition wall allowing light to flood in, there is a space to the side of this room currently utilised as a reading area. The living room is by admission one of the current owners favourite rooms, a bright room made all the lighter through a large roof lantern, with windows and French doors opening up to the garden at the rear. Off of the living room is an exceptionally useful rear lobby with access to the side of the property, this is the ideal spot for muddy boots and shoes. A down stairs WC completes the ground floor. Inter-connecting rooms such as hallways, landings and porches can often be sad spaces without much thought going in to how they present, not here, there has been as much care and attention to detail as with all the rooms, with side windows all these areas are bright and well finished. On the first floor there is a stylish bathroom, tiled with modern variable tile sizes that give the room a uniformity and smart finish. There are three bedrooms on this floor, the smallest which the owners have set as a study, has a great feature window seat set into the oriel bay window. The other two doubles retain lots of original features such as fire places, picture rails, box bay window and high ceilings. A clever loft conversion has added a generous second floor, this gives the property two more spacious double bedrooms and a shower room that impresses as much as its sister bathroom below.

Externally

To the front there is a well stocked planted slate bed with various plants and shrubs, the rest is block paved offering off road parking for several cars. Timber side gates open up to an excellent side return giving superb side storage for bikes, bins and other garden ephemera.
This leads through to the rear garden where a paved patio precedes the mainly lawned garden, which has established bushes and trees giving the garden a very private and secluded feel. Timber sheds to the side and rear are to remain.
