Description

**Guide Price - £475,000 - £525,000**

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented Grade II listed barn conversion, Moulsham Barn combines an abundance of character and charm with spacious, versatile accommodation, creating a truly distinctive home in Chelmsford.

Arranged over two floors, the property offers a thoughtfully designed layout, with the ground floor comprising two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite facilities. The accommodation is complemented by a fitted kitchen, providing ample storage and worktop space, alongside a generous dining room which offers an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. An entrance hall completes the ground floor, providing a welcoming introduction to the home and access to the principal living areas.

The first floor is undoubtedly a particular highlight, featuring an impressive sitting room extending to approximately 24'3" x 31'8". This remarkable space showcases the character one would expect from a traditional barn conversion, with attractive exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling creating a wonderful sense of height, light and openness. The generous proportions offer considerable flexibility for a variety of furniture arrangements, while providing an inviting environment in which to relax or entertain. Doors lead directly onto a private balcony, offering an appealing spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day.

Externally, the property benefits from a private rear garden, providing valuable outdoor space for relaxation, gardening and al fresco dining during the warmer months. Further practical advantages include a cart lodge with three allocated parking spaces, ensuring convenient off-street parking.

Well presented throughout, Moulsham Barn offers a rare combination of period character, generous living accommodation and modern-day practicality. The distinctive first-floor reception room, en-suite bedrooms and attractive outdoor space make this a particularly appealing home for buyers seeking something a little different from the conventional property.

Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, proportions and individual character this impressive Grade II listed barn conversion has to offer.
