Broomfield Road, Chelmsford, Essex CM1

*** guide price: £750,000 - £775,000 ***
Palmer and Partners are delighted to present this exceptional four-bedroom semi-detached family home, proudly situated along the highly desirable Broomfield Road. Built in 1879, this impressive Victorian residence beautifully blends timeless period charm with modern living, having been thoughtfully extended and lovingly maintained by its current owners. Ideally positioned within walking distance of Chelmsford City Centre and the mainline railway station—with direct links to London, Colchester, and Ipswich—the property also falls within catchment for some of the area’s most prestigious grammar schools, including King Edward VI Grammar School and Chelmsford County High School for Girls.

Approached via a block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, the property immediately makes a striking impression. A restored Victorian front door with stained glass panelling opens into an impressive, welcoming entrance hallway, complete with a downstairs cloakroom and access to a large cellar—ideal for storage or potential conversion.

The ground floor offers exceptional living space across three generously proportioned reception rooms, each brimming with character. The principal lounge to the front of the property boasts a large bay window, and an elegant open fireplace, while a cosy rear-facing snug enjoys another feature fireplace and a bay window offering tranquil views over the garden. A third versatile reception room provides the perfect setting for a home office, playroom, or reading room.

To the rear of the property lies a beautifully appointed and spacious modern kitchen diner, featuring an extensive range of wall and base units, integrated appliances including a five-ring gas hob, double oven, and space for a dishwasher and double fridge freezer. A Velux window and sash windows flood the space with natural light, while the adjoining dining area is enhanced by bifold doors that open directly onto the garden—ideal for indoor-outdoor living. A separate utility room offers further convenience, with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and additional storage units.

A unique feature of this home is the presence of two staircases providing access to the upper level. The first staircase leads to a private bedroom with an en suite shower room, ideal as a guest suite or for multi-generational living. The main staircase serves the remaining three bedrooms, including the generously sized principal bedroom which benefits from an en suite shower room and built-in wardrobes. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring a bath, low level WC, hand wash basin with vanity storage, and a separate storage cupboard.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The fully established southwest-facing rear garden offers a peaceful and private retreat, with a large patio ideal for entertaining and a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature planting. An outbuilding, currently used as a home office, provides a versatile space for remote working or additional storage.

Further benefits include a garage to the front of the property, complete with light and power, ideal for secure storage or further parking. The property has also been extended to the side and offers excellent potential to be adapted into a self-contained annexe, subject to necessary permissions—an ideal opportunity for extended family living.

This rare and exceptional home combines elegant period features, generous living space, and modern convenience in one of Chelmsford's most sought-after locations. Palmer and Partners strongly recommend early internal viewing to truly appreciate all this remarkable property has to offer.
