2 bed bungalow for sale

Norton Road, Chelmsford, Essex CM1

** guide price: £400,000 - £425,000 **
Palmer and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this unique and rarely available two-bedroom detached bungalow, ideally located in the heart of Chelmsford City Centre. Originally built in the 1950s as the architect’s own family home, the property has been thoughtfully maintained and modernised by the current owner over the past 21 years, while retaining its original character and offering a fantastic amount of living space.

The bungalow enjoys a centrally located position, within walking distance of the vibrant city centre, with its extensive range of retail, dining, and leisure facilities, as well as the picturesque Central Park, Chelmsford Cricket Club, and a number of well-regarded local schools. The location also benefits from excellent transport links, including Chelmsford train station, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street, Colchester, and Ipswich, a comprehensive local bus network serving the wider Essex area, and easy access to the A12 and A414, making this a highly desirable home for commuters and downsizers alike.

Internally, the property offers generously proportioned and light-filled accommodation. The entrance hall leads to all principal rooms, including a cloakroom and a well-appointed family bathroom, which features a panel enclosed bath with shower over, hand wash basin, and separate WC. The spacious lounge benefits from an electric fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and opens into a separate dining room, ideal for both formal dining and everyday use. The kitchen is well laid out with ample storage units, and provides space for a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer, and electric cooker.

There are two generously sized double bedrooms, both enjoying plenty of natural light and offering comfortable accommodation. Throughout the property, double glazed windows and gas central heating ensure comfort and efficiency, with the system powered by a Worcester Bosch combi boiler installed in April 2022. Further practical benefits include hallway storage cupboards, a kitchen pantry, and a fully boarded loft storage room with window, which also presents potential for conversion (subject to planning permission).

Externally, the home is enhanced by a fully established and well-maintained rear garden, offering a private and tranquil space complete with a patio area, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in the warmer months. There is also a shed to remain and side access to the front of the property.

To the front, the property benefits from an integral garage and a private driveway, providing ample off-street parking for two vehicles. Full fibre-to-the-premises broadband is also available, offering ultra-fast download speeds of up to 1 Gbps, ideal for home working and modern lifestyles.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and well-presented detached bungalow in a prime Chelmsford location. Palmer and Partners strongly encourage early internal viewing to fully appreciate all that this wonderful home has to offer.
