Bishops Court Gardens, Chelmsford, CM2

An impressive and substantially extended four bedroom detached family home offering approximately 1,995 sq ft of well-planned accommodation, positioned within a small mews setting close to Chelmsford city centre.

The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed around modern family living.

Extending to approximately 33'1" in length, this generous space is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and features a substantial central island providing additional preparation space, storage and informal seating. The kitchen/dining room flows seamlessly into the impressive living room, where a large roof lantern floods the space with natural light. A feature fireplace with log-burning stove provides an attractive focal point, while wide sliding doors overlook and provide direct access to the rear garden. For those seeking additional reception space, there is a separate sitting room which could equally serve as a family room, playroom or home office. A useful utility room, ground floor cloakroom and internal access to the garage complete the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor, the landing features a contemporary glazed balustrade and provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own modern en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.

Externally, the property is approached via a hardstanding driveway providing off-road parking and access to the integral garage, with the remainder of the front garden laid to lawn. A particular feature of the property is the attractive south-facing rear garden, which occupies a generous corner plot and extends around the side of the house. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with paved and decked seating areas, mature flower and shrub borders and established trees providing a good degree of privacy and screening. The size and orientation of the garden create an excellent outdoor space for both family life and entertaining.
