Could you be the next family to call this home?

Built by hand and filled with one family's love, laughter and memories ever since. Three generations have loved living here but now this chain free, 5 bedroom-detached house is ready for its next chapter.

A loving father built this house brick by brick in the late 60’s, for the family he was about to raise in it and three generations have called it home ever since. You can feel that the moment you turn onto the driveway.

The house sits well back from the road, behind mature trees and bushes, with a long drive leading up to the front door. It's clearly been tended with real care for decades - roses, mature planting, the kind of garden that doesn't happen by accident.

Inside, there's a large lounge with a lovely big window pulling in the light, plus a separate dining room - proper space to spread out rather than one room trying to do everything. The kitchen has its own utility room alongside it, with a downstairs WC too.

Most of the ground floor has parquet flooring underneath the carpet (only the kitchen missing this). Pull up the carpet and there's a gorgeous floor waiting to be rediscovered.

Upstairs you'll find five generous sized bedrooms, with a family bathroom that was updated in recent years to include a large walk-in shower. There's also a fully boarded loft with a ladder up - the family used it as a games room back in the day, so there's plenty of scope for a home office, playroom or whatever suits your next chapter.

Outside, there's a single garage with an electric roller door, accessible both from the driveway and the garden, currently used for storage.

The back garden has side access from the parking area and is a wonderful feature of the property. Lovingly maintained and beautifully mature, it offers an abundance of attractive planting and a peaceful, established feel throughout. A greenhouse and the remnants of a once-thriving vegetable patch hint at the garden’s productive past, while the generous space continues beyond, providing further areas to enjoy, cultivate, or simply relax in.

This is a solid, well-built home, and the love that's gone into this place over the years is obvious in every room. It does need updating but it’s spacious and the structure is sound - it just needs a little cosmetic tlc.

Great Baddow is a village with real character just southeast of Chelmsford. The Vineyards is your local shopping hub, with independent butchers, greengrocers and a proper fish and chip shop, and you've got the White Horse and the Blue Lion nearby for a Sunday roast.

Great Baddow High School and Baddow Hall Junior School are both highly rated, and Chelmsford station is just a 10 minute drive away with direct trains into London - handy if you need to get into the city for work, shopping trips or to catch up with friends.

If you're looking for a spacious family home with genuine history and scope to make it your own, this could be the perfect project.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from families who can see themselves making memories here, so get in touch to arrange a viewing. Quote RT0654 when calling. Calls are answered 24/7.
