3 bed bungalow for sale

Barrack Road, Mashbury, Chelmsford, Essex CM1

Beautifully situated three bedroom bungalow with countryside views.

Description
Badger Cottage has been in the same family since 1976 and is now in need of some modernisation. The plot, which extends to about 0.3 acres, has extensive lane frontage and includes a second entrance and some outbuildings. At the rear there are far-reaching farmland views, west facing, enjoying the afternoon sun.

The bungalow is designed so that the kitchen and lounge overlook the gardens and benefit from the views. A porch opens into an attractive reception room, which includes a floor-to-ceiling red-brick fireplace with log burner. There are three bedrooms at the front of the bungalow, one overlooking the gardens. There is also a spacious bathroom. An inner hallway leads to the kitchen, fitted in pine and enjoying far-reaching views. Separated by a back hall is the utility room. This area would benefit from being amalgamated, creating one large open plan kitchen/living room. On the opposite end is a lounge with double doors onto the rear garden and views beyond. This room also has a fireplace with log burner.

Outside
On the northern boundary is a drive to an attached garage. The gardens lie to the south, with frontage to the lane and a separated gated access. The gardens include some outbuildings providing good potential for replacement or amalgamation, subject to planning permission.

Services
Mains water and electricity. Oi-fired central heating. Private drainage (compliant system).
