Springfield Road, Chelmsford, Essex

The Cedars is a considerable and beautifully presented detached red-brick residence sitting within a well-sized private plot in a soughtafter
city centre setting. This sympathetically renovated building offers over 3,300 sq. ft. of characterful, light-filled accommodation, arranged over two floors.

The central reception hall with its turned stairway and steps to the half cellar, flows to a pair of elegant front-facing bay-windowed reception rooms with charming feature fireplaces and stoves, wood panelling and tall, corniced ceilings. Further is a peaceful study and a useful modern ground floor shower room. The accommodation then flows into the expansive extended open-plan kitchen and
living space, with dual garden aspects, a domed
skylight and wide bi-folding doors opening to the south-westerly terrace. The bright space offers ample room for relaxing and socialising alongside the freestanding feature fire, with an informal dining space overlooking the garden.

The deluxe kitchen comprises a range of sleek
handless wall and base cabinetry, worksurfaces,
a large island with inset gas hob, breakfast bar
and built-in extractor above. Completing the
floor is a well-appointed parlour, pantry and
utility.

The first-floor landing with its part stained glass sash window branches off onto a family bathroom and four luxurious bedroom suites with a wealth of bespoke fitted wardrobes and charming original fireplaces. The larger principal suite also has a dedicated dressing room and a sleek en suite shower room, whilst one further bedroom benefits from an additional en suite shower room.

The property has a fine formal frontage and enjoys the benefit of a sizeable private plot approached via a gated block-paved driveway, offering ample parking beside the home and leading to the detached double garage block and attached store room. A beautiful partwalled garden surrounds the remainder, largely laid to lush level lawn and surrounded and interspersed with a wealth of mature evergreen trees and shrubs. A paved south-westerly facing sun terrace beside the striking modern extension with a curved topiary and herbaceous border provides the ideal spot to dine al fresco, with an additional circular seating area alongside.

Chelmsford has a vibrant and bustling centre with historic architecture and excellent shopping options, along with the pedestrianised High Street. It is also home to a wealth of restaurants, cafés and bars, has superb leisure and recreational facilities and several reputable independent schools. The property’s location is convenient for transport, with the mainline station under a mile away (36 minutes to London Liverpool Street), and the A12 within four miles.
