5 Bed Detached House For Sale Thatchers Croft, Chelmsford, CM3

A beautifully presented & spacious five bedroom detached family home standing on grounds of 0.37 acres (stls)

What we think at the Zoe Napier Group

This fantastic family home really has a wonderful feel and flow to it, the recently fitted high specification kitchen and bathrooms really do give it the wow factor! The semi-rural location and proximity to Maldon and Burnham-on-Crouch will appeal to maritime enthusiasts and the nearby train station allows an easy commute to London.

What the owner says

This has been a fantastic family home for us, the secluded heated swimming pool has allowed us to have many a gathering with family and friends, whilst the adjacent outbuilding provided us with a base to work from home during the Covid years and with a shower room already in situ, could easily be converted into a self-contained annexe for a multi-generational family.

Background & History

Built in 1982, this beautifully presented spacious family home stands on sumptuous, secluded grounds of 0.37 acres (stls) and has been refurbished to very high specification.

On the first floor the galleried landing allows access to the magnificent master suite, a hugely impressive room situated to the rear of the property, boasting wonderful views over the grounds and adjoins the luxurious en suite shower room. The guest suite resides in the front elevation and has the added benefit of its own en suite facility, whilst the three remaining bedrooms are complemented by the family bathroom.
