Rainsford Avenue, Chelmsford, CM1

Bond Residential are pleased to offer for sale this established four bedroom semi-detached home, occupying a desirable position within the sought-after cul-de-sac setting of Rainsford Avenue, conveniently located for Chelmsford city centre and mainline railway station. Offered with no onward chain, the property provides generous accommodation of approximately 1,240 sq ft together with an unusually generous plot that offers considerable scope for improvement, extension or potentially the creation of an additional dwelling, all subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The ground floor is approached via an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. To the front is a separate living room, while to the rear is a particularly flexible arrangement comprising a sitting room and adjoining dining room, creating an excellent space for family living and entertaining. Double doors from the sitting room provide direct access to the rear garden. A separate kitchen extends along the side of the property and provides a range of fitted units and work surfaces, while a useful ground floor bathroom completes the accommodation on this level. The existing configuration offers clear potential for a future purchaser to remodel and create a larger open-plan kitchen/family space, subject to their requirements and any necessary consents. On the first floor, the generous landing gives access to four bedrooms, including two particularly well-proportioned double bedrooms, together with a further bedroom and a versatile fourth bedroom suitable for a child's room, study or home office. A second family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside is one of the property's most notable features. The home occupies a substantial plot with extensive gardens extending to the side and rear, providing significant outdoor space rarely found so close to the city centre. The width of the plot also provides exciting potential to extend the existing home or investigate the possibility of an additional dwelling, subject entirely to planning permission and all necessary approvals.

The property would make an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a long-term family home in an established and highly convenient Chelmsford setting. Offered for sale with no onward chain, an early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate both the accommodation and the potential offered by the plot.
