Offering just under 2,000 sq. ft of enhanced accommodation with a pleasing open ambience, 5 Tower Avenue provides a cohesive blend of character features and on-trend styling in a light and airy living environment. This property has only been on the market once before, purchased by the current owners and is well located opposite Admirals Park and a short walk to Chelmsford railway station and the local Grammar Schools.

The spacious reception hall gives access into an elegant sitting room which is centred around a feature fireplace and extends into the bay recess. To the rear of the house, all rooms have the convenience of underfloor heating. The dining room showcases one of a number of decorative original fireplaces to be found in this charming property and provides the perfect setting to host family and friends with french doors affording a connection to the garden. Two apertures to either side of the chimney breast provide a link to the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room which is filled with natural light courtesy of a wall of bi-folding doors offering a seamless transition from the inside to the outside. Fitted with sleek cabinetry topped with oak wood surfaces, the kitchen has a large island unit, topped with a quartz work surface together with a breakfast bar which provides a sociable hub of the house. The utility room has a Butlers sink and side door and leads to a stylish shower room.

The first floor comprises four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys an outlook over the rear garden and has access to an ensuite shower room with underfloor heating.

The well-mantained and landscaped rear garden offers an outdoor sanctuary, with a series of subtle partitions formed by timber frameworks and trellising creating interest along the length of the borders with mature shrubs and specimen trees and two oval flower beds are filled with attractive architectural and perennial planting. At the far end of the west facing 150ft garden, there are timber edged raised planters ideal for vegetable cultivation and just beyond there are numerous fruit trees, together with a shed and a retained historic air raid shelter. An expanse of 60 sqm composite decking spans the rear of the house with steps leading down to a setting which offers opportunities for outdoor dining, relaxation and some impressive sunsets. A sheltered spot is provided by the pretty summer house which could also be utilised as an office. At the front of the house a gravelled driveway provides parking for several vehicles and timber gates to either side offer a route to access the rear garden.
