Southend Road, Chelmsford, CM2 7TW
Offered to the market for the first time in over 100 years, having been lovingly owned by the same family throughout, this characterful cottage was built in the 1700s (confirmed by the original deeds) and now presents a truly exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project with genuine long-term potential.
Set within a generous plot of approximately 0.21 of an acre, the property requires full refurbishment throughout but offers a wonderful blank canvas for a new owner to restore and reimagine this period home to their own taste, subject to the necessary consents. The scale of the garden also presents scope for further development, subject to planning permission
Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 810 sq ft and is arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises a spacious living room, kitchen, dining room, a downstairs bedroom, and a bathroom, while the first floor offers two further bedrooms. In total the property provides three bedrooms, one bathroom, and one reception room, giving a flexible layout ready to be transformed.
Outside, the real showstopper is the wraparound garden
Offered freehold with no onward chain, this is a genuinely unique chance to acquire a home steeped in history and character, with the space and scope to create something special.
