This four-bedroom property on Hopkins Mead, Chelmer Village, Chelmsford is set along a sought-after residential road and immediately makes an impression as one of the larger homes on the street — the kind of space that grows with you and adapts to modern family life with ease.

Built in 1986 by Moody Homes and carefully maintained over the years, this is a home that blends solid craftsmanship with thoughtful upgrades. Step inside and you’re welcomed by a layout that simply works — generous, well-balanced and designed for both everyday living and those moments when the house is full.

The lounge is where things really shine. At its heart sits a stunning marble fireplace with a gas fire, bringing both style and substance to the space. It’s a real focal point — elegant, inviting and perfect for cosy evenings in. And for those who love a traditional touch, it was once a real fire and can easily be returned to one.

Flowing through the ground floor, you’ll find separate living and dining areas that offer flexibility without compromise, while the conservatory to the rear draws in natural light and opens up the space beautifully — ideal for everything from quiet mornings to lively gatherings.

The kitchen continues the home’s modern feel with fully tiled flooring and sleek high-gloss cabinetry. Fully equipped with an integrated double oven and microwave, and with white goods included, it’s ready to handle anything from quick midweek dinners to weekend hosting with ease. A separate study provides that all-important work-from-home space or a quiet retreat when needed.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms offer comfort and versatility for families of all sizes. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while a modern family bathroom serves the remaining rooms — all finished in a clean, contemporary style.

Step outside and the lifestyle appeal really comes into its own. The south-facing garden has been designed to maximise enjoyment with minimal upkeep, featuring artificial grass and a brick-built shed for practical storage. The electronically operated pergola is a standout addition — open it up for sunny afternoons or close it over when the evening cools, creating a space that works whatever the weather.

The double garage, measuring an impressive 31ft x 8’3ft, comes with an electric door and is paired with two EV charging points — a forward-thinking touch that’s already in place. Add to that triple glazing, gas central heating, hardwired telecoms, and solar panels with three storage batteries, and you have a home that’s as efficient as it is comfortable. Even the finer details are taken care of, with televisions included in the rooms.
