3 bed detached house for sale

St. Cleres Way, Chelmsford CM3

Welcome inside this warm and inviting family home which is being sold chain free and with planning permission to extend further. Guide Price: £600,000-£625,000.

There are three reception rooms on the ground floor, all finished with beautiful parquet flooring. The living room fireplace with working log burner is a true focal point, perfect for cosy winter evenings or relaxed family gatherings. A separate dining room offers space for entertaining, while the third reception room provides flexibility—whether as a home office, playroom, or snug.

The kitchen, while ready for modernising to a buyer’s taste, is exceptionally well-kept and fully functional—ideal for moving straight in and upgrading in your own time. There is also a convenient downstairs cloakroom by the entrance.

Upstairs, the main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, while the additional two double bedrooms offer excellent storage and share a spacious family bathroom with his-and-hers sinks. Like the kitchen, the bathroom is clean and practical as it stands, giving new owners the choice of refreshing the décor at their leisure.

One of the home’s biggest draws is its potential. Planning permission is already in place for a two-storey front extension, along with approval to extend the rear garage—offering huge scope to expand as your family grows.

Outside, the private rear garden provides a safe space for children to play, with side access leading to a generous front garden and off-road parking.

Set back from the bustle of Chelmsford yet only a short drive when needed, Danbury is renowned for its open green spaces, welcoming community and excellent schools. Families love the easy access to woodland walks, safe off-road paths leading to kids’ parks, football pitches, tennis courts, a library and playing fields—all just a stroll away. Add to that the convenience of a nursery and primary school within walking distance, plus Danbury Gym and local allotments nearby, and you’ll quickly see why this location is one of Essex’s most sought-after family settings.

And when it comes to lifestyle, the owners put it best:

“We were drawn to this home because of its perfect location and perfect size house. It’s tucked away from busy roads, offering peace and privacy while still providing easy access to all that Danbury and the surrounding area has to offer. One of our favorite things has been the short stroll to local woodland walks and off-street paths that lead to kids’ parks, tennis courts, football pitches, huge playing fields, the library, and local co-op—making it easy and safe to explore nature without the stress of traffic. We’ve loved the convenience of having both a nursery and a primary school within walking distance, and Danbury Gym right at the end of our road. The local allotments have been a wonderful way to grow our own produce and connect with neighbours. Danbury itself is a vibrant village community, with great pubs serving fantastic food and seasonal events that bring everyone together. Though it feels wonderfully tucked away from the bustle of Chelmsford, it’s just a short drive when you need it—the best of both worlds.”

This home combines a superb location, ready-to-move-into comfort, and exciting scope to add value—all in a much-loved Essex village community.

Planning Permission:

The current owners have successfully obtained planning permission to extend and and all structural drawings have now been completed. Which means the project is ready to commence at any time.

The approved works include a two-storey front extension, which will significantly increase the ground floor space. This will allow for a larger entrance hall, a new dining room, and a utility room. The upstairs area will also be substantially expanded, with both front and rear dormers being extended forward. As a result, all bedrooms and the main bathroom will benefit from increased dimensions.

Additionally, the current owners have also had approval to construct a first-floor extension above the existing detached garage, without the need to demolish the current structure. This will create a spacious garden office with a separate entrance.
