Description
Planning use
The property currently has C2 use restricting the occupation to women over the age of 60 and men over the age of 65. However, as the property use ceased use many years ago, it lends itself to a change of use to C3 residential, being located predominantly within an urban residential environment. Any changes are subject to planning permissions from Chelmsford City Council.
Ashley House has been a care home for many years, now closed. With the size of the property extending to over 5,800 sq ft, it provides enormous potential. For example: a substantial house with multiple reception rooms, bedrooms, bathroom and a separate annexe or HMO (a property for multiple occupation) which is indeed a rare opportunity so close to the city centre.
There is parking at the front for six to seven cars and the rear gardens, which are screened by mature confiders and hedging, extend to approximately 72 ft in length.
Location
Chelmsford railway station: 1.2 miles (rail service to London Liverpool Street); Chelmsford City shopping centre: 1 mile on foot; A12 (junction 15): 2.8 miles. All distances approximate.
Ashley House is situated on the southern side of Moulsham Street at the top of New London Road, a short walk from Oaklands Park - a landscaped park with rose garden, sports pitches and tennis courts. It is also home to the Chelmsford and Essex Regiment Museum.
The house is within walking distance of the Tesco superstore on Princes Road, within easy reach of an extensive range of shops and amenities on Moulsham Street, while Chelmsford city offers a bustling shopping centre and a station on the main line into London Liverpool Street and access on to the A12.
The area also boasts: Moulsham High School, offering an outstanding quality of education (Ofsted 2020), approximately 1 km from the property which can be reached on foot without the need to cross any roads; three superb private prep schools (two of which are actually in New London Road); two grammar schools and a well-known independent school (New Hall).
Square Footage: 5,805 sq ft
