"Situated on one of Old Moulsham`s most sought-after roads moments from Chelmsford Town Centre and radiating character throughout, this beautiful late Victorian Villa has been further enhanced by a professional Loft conversion, culminating in an exceptional 5 bedroom family home of 2038sq ft (1.88sq m).
Meticulously renovated throughout, this home is a prime example of why we continue our love affair with period homes, the fusion encompassed in this particular home, includes its striking kerb-side appeal, well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, sash windows, feature Fireplaces, ornate cornicework, traditional cast iron style column radiators and the iconic geometric mosaic floor tiles in the Hallway.
The Ground Floor accommodation commences with the extended split level Hallway, with its handsome, eye catching floor tiling and ground floor WC Room fitted with an in-keeping heritage suite, Front Reception Room with its dramatic full height Bay window fitted with swish Thomas Sanderson shutters and a Charnwood C4 wood burning Stove within the Fireplace, the `Parlour` with its big Sash window gazing out over the landscaped Garden and the Day Room which features a set of French Doors, a pretty Almond Charnwood Stove within its Fireplace and which leads round to the Kitchen, its Grey `wood grain` finish Shaker style doors and Granite worktops giving a timeless elegance.
Ascend the staircase with its contemporary striped carpet to the First Floor, which has the large Master Bedroom and its large connected Dressing Room, two further spacious bedrooms and the stunning big family Bathroom; a real showpiece.
A second staircase rises to the large Attic, which has been professionally converted to provide another large Landing, two spacious bedrooms and a Shower Room. The extra space at the end of the landing has created a little Reading/Study area below a skylight window - a nice touch.
Externally, the Gardens wrap around the Rear and side and were designed and created by `Cube 1994 Garden Design`, who have built award winning gardens at the RHS Chelsea & RHS Hampton Court Flower Shows and on the return frontage is the 2 Car Drive.
Moulsham Street, the historic centre of Chelmsford, with its eclectic range of shops, bars and restaurants, is just around the corner, with Chelmsford`s award winning town centre, which includes `Bond Street` - home to riverside Restaurants, Shops (including John Lewis) and a cinema, just a 300 metre stroll.
Chelmsford Railway Station, on the Greater Anglia line, whizzes you to London Liverpool Street in just 36 minutes and is just 0.8 mile on foot and if education is a high priority, you may be interested to know the highly regarded private preparatory schools of St Anne`s and St Cedd`s are both under 1/2 mile away, as are the state schools of Oaklands, and Our Lady Immaculate RC primary school.
Plus, Essex benefits from the 11+ examinations route to Grammer Schools and so buyers are also drawn to the area for the convenience of access to the `Outstanding` OFSTED rated Chelmsford County High School for Girls and King Edward VI Grammar School for Boys.
The Accommodation:
HALL
A super first impression.
The striking `Dahlia` design, hand laid mosaic tiled floor by `London Mosaic Restoration` is the aesthetic centrepiece to this long Hallway, which sees the light grey in the tilework picked up by the uplifting Farrow & Ball grey walls and complimented by the Anthracite Grey column radiator.
The 8ft 5` high ceiling gives an even greater feel of height and space and we liked the detailed touch of the wood topped steps, trickling down to the lower level of the hall where the floor turns to natural slate, which flows into the adjacent Cloakroom and through the Family Room into the Kitchen.
Within the hall there is a huge walk-in understairs store cupboard with a handy sensor light and as you enter from the front door, a small discreet box houses the modern electrical Consumer unit: the house having been re-wired and Cat 5 data cabling put in most of the rooms too.
It may be worth noting here, that as well as the re-wire, the property has also been fully re-plumbed with all new pipework, even including a new 22mm water main, every room has either been replastered or drylined and the roof has been re-lined as well.
GROUND FLOOR WC ROOM
Fitted with a pretty Burlington? Edwardian cloakroom suite featuring a low level WC and a pretty, curved wall mounted basin.
The chrome waste, pipework and WC downpipe along with the Anthracite Grey column radiator, Georgian style window and the rich deep purple walls all blend together to create a fabulous classic heritage cloakroom.
FRONT RECEPTION ROOM 14ft 7` x 12ft (4.44m x 3.7m)
Presently used as an oversized Dining Room.
The aptly named `Eating Room Red` wall paint gives a rich burgundy finish, very popular in dining rooms in the 19th century and so a good choice for this combination of red walls and the whites of the ceiling, ornate cornice work, built-in book shelving to the right of the chimney breast, high skirting boards, Sash windows within the full height Bay and the custom made solid wood `Kenilworth` shutters by Thomas Sanderson, their adjustable blades allowing a balance of light, privacy and a measure of security.
Set the scene with a roaring fire in the outstandingly efficient, Charnwood C-Four wood burning Stove, which is inset within the Fireplace and comes with a solid granite hearth.
REAR RECEPTION ROOM 12ft 1` x 12ft (3.7m x 3.7m)
This, the original Parlour, is presently used as a formal Lounge as, although the front room is bigger, the family of 8 who live here prefer to use the front room for their large extendable dining table and love the cosiness of this rear room.
Throughout the home, the Farrow & Ball paint gives individual personality to each room. Here the `Hague Blue` gives a gorgeous, timeless, deep and dramatic hue to the walls, with above the picture rail painted white to accentuate the 8ft 6` ceiling height even more.
Gazing out over the landscaped Garden and nearly 6ft tall is the large Sash window by the `Bygone Collection`, one of the beautiful, premium quality `wood grain` composite sash windows found throughout the home, preserving and enhancing the building`s appearance, in-keeping within its character. These windows give exceptional energy efficiency, enhanced security and ease of use.
FAMILY ROOM 13ft narrowing 10ft 4` x 11ft (4m > 3.15m x 3.35m)
The vintage feel of the `Stone Blue` walls, blend perfectly with the black slate floor of this homely family snug which sits conveniently in front of the kitchen.
Fire up the pretty Almond coloured Charnwood Stove, with its large ceramic glass panel giving a full view of the fire, for gazing at on cold winter evenings.
The ceiling here stretches up to 8ft 8` (2.64m), again with white above the picture rail for further height enhancement and a set of French Doors open out to the fabulous landscaped garden.
