3 bed detached house for sale

Hamlet Road, Chelmsford CM2

Character, individuality and an exceptional Old Moulsham location combine to create a home that genuinely needs to be seen to be appreciated.

McCartney Estate Agents are delighted to bring to market this stunning detached period residence, enviably positioned on Hamlet Road in the heart of one of Chelmsford's most desirable and characterful neighbourhoods. From its handsome brick façade and tall sash-style windows to its beautifully considered interior, this is a home with enormous personality.

The accommodation extends to approximately 1,203 sq ft (111.8 sq m) and has been arranged to provide generous and highly versatile living space while retaining the charm expected of a property of this period.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall immediately establishes the character of the house, with timber flooring and a traditional staircase rising to the first floor. To the front is an impressive living room, centred around a striking period-style fireplace and flooded with natural light from the large bay window. Bespoke-style cabinetry and the deep green panelled feature wall give the room a sophisticated yet welcoming feel.

The heart of the house is undoubtedly the superb dining and family space beyond. Measuring up to approximately 19' in length, this is an incredibly sociable room with ample space for a substantial dining table alongside an additional seating or family area. Timber flooring continues through the space, while the arrangement creates an effortless flow between the principal reception areas and the rear of the property.

The kitchen is smartly appointed with an extensive range of contemporary gloss cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and integrated appliances, while a separate utility room provides valuable additional practicality and direct access outside. A ground-floor WC completes the accommodation at this level.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom, together with a stylish family bathroom. The bedrooms retain the wonderful proportions and natural light associated with period architecture, while the bathroom is finished in a contemporary style with a separate shower enclosure.

The outside space is every bit as distinctive as the house itself. To the rear is a beautifully established garden that feels remarkably private considering the property's central location. Mature planting, architectural greenery, paved pathways and multiple seating areas combine to create an almost Mediterranean feel, with a mature climbing plant forming a wonderful natural canopy over one of the entertaining areas. A further decked seating area is nestled amongst established planting towards the rear.

To the front, the property benefits from the increasingly valuable advantage of off-road parking, together with an integral/attached garage, a particularly notable feature for such a centrally located period home.

Hamlet Road sits immediately off the vibrant Moulsham Street area, placing an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities within easy reach. Chelmsford City Centre and its mainline railway station are also readily accessible, making the property exceptionally well positioned for both city living and commuting.

9 Hamlet Road is far more than simply a three-bedroom house. It is an individual, character-filled detached home in one of Chelmsford's most sought-after central locations, with the space, parking and garden to make it an exceptionally rare proposition. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

Driveway

A major advantage for a home in this central Old Moulsham position, with off-road parking to the front/side of the property leading to the garage.

A genuinely outstanding feature of the home. The beautifully landscaped garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide several distinct areas for relaxing and entertaining, surrounded by an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and established planting.
Immediately adjoining the house is a seating area beneath a magnificent mature climbing canopy, creating an intimate setting for outdoor dining. Pathways lead through the garden to a further raised decked seating area surrounded by lush greenery. The result is an exceptionally private and tranquil outside space which feels a world away from its central city location.
