Heathfield Road, Broomfield

Set on a peaceful residential road on the northern edge of Chelmsford, this immaculately kept and substantial four-bedroom house combines generous proportions with a calm, well-maintained interior and an exceptionally mature garden. The house has evolved carefully over time, resulting in a practical family layout with multiple reception spaces, a notably large principal suite and a strong connection to the outside.

The Property - The house is set back behind a broad brick-paved driveway, with a sheltered entrance opening into a welcoming hallway lined with striped runners and warm neutral tones. From here, the principal reception room unfolds across the front of the house; a calm, generously proportioned space centred around a fireplace with floating timber mantel and soft natural light from a wide picture window.

To the rear, a separate snug has a quieter, more contemporary atmosphere. French doors open directly onto the garden, while bespoke cabinetry runs along one wall beneath a soft monochrome palette. The room works equally well as a family room, music room or informal entertaining space.

The dining room sits between the reception spaces and kitchen, forming a distinct yet connected series of rooms across the ground floor perfect for entertaining. Its proportions comfortably accommodate a large dining table beneath full-height mural-style wallpaper, while glazed doors draw light through from the garden-facing rooms beyond.

The kitchen is arranged in a long galley formation with extensive cabinetry, dark worktops and terracotta-toned tiled flooring. Full-height windows and glazed doors at the rear bring in excellent light and establish an easy relationship with the garden terraces outside. Traditionally styled, the layout is practical and well considered, with ample storage and workspace throughout.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is especially impressive in scale, extending across much of the rear of the house. Fitted wardrobes wrap the perimeter while a floral feature wall softens the room’s otherwise understated palette. An en-suite shower room adjoins. Three further bedrooms are arranged off the landing, each with pleasant proportions and good natural light. One is currently arranged as a study lined with bookshelves; another as a calm guest bedroom in muted rose tones.

The family bathroom is spacious and bright, finished with white tiling, a bath with shower over and two frosted windows that fill the room with soft daylight.

Throughout the house, the interiors have been consistently cared for, creating a sense of warmth and longevity

The Outside - The rear garden is one of the house’s defining features. Broad and mature, it is enclosed by established trees, shrubs and layered planting that create a surprising degree of privacy. Curved lawns soften the geometry of the plot, while paved terraces immediately outside the house provide space for outdoor dining and sitting areas.

French doors from the snug open directly onto the terrace, strengthening the relationship between the interior and garden during warmer months. The depth of planting and mature trees give the outside spaces a settled, almost semi-rural atmosphere unusual for such a well-connected suburban setting.

To the front, a substantial driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles alongside an attached garage.

The Area - Heathfield Road lies within a quiet residential pocket to the north of Chelmsford city centre, close to open countryside and green walking routes while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities.

Chelmsford offers a broad range of independent cafés, restaurants and shops alongside larger retail and leisure facilities. Bond Street and the city centre are a short drive away, while nearby Springfield and Broomfield provide supermarkets, schools and local services.

For transport, Chelmsford station provides regular direct services to London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes, making the area particularly popular with commuters seeking larger family houses and access to green space. Road connections are also strong, with the A12 and A414 both easily accessible.

The surrounding area is characterised by a balance of established residential streets, open farmland and village edges, giving this part of Chelmsford a quieter and more spacious feel than many suburban settings closer to the city centre.
