Old Manse is a carefully restored period house combining 18th–19th century fabric with a striking 2007 oak extension. High-quality finishes include handmade sash windows, solid oak floors, underfloor heating and reinstated cast-iron fireplaces, creating a home that feels both authentic and comfortable. The house sits on a large plot with mature planting, multiple seating areas and useful outbuildings, offering privacy in a sought-after village setting.
The accommodation is generous throughout — very large total area and high ceilings in many rooms — yet the formal bedroom count is three, with two principal bathrooms and a dressing room off the main suite. Practical additions include a garage, workshop with full wiring, modernised services and annually-serviced boiler, making day-to-day living straightforward.
This property suits buyers who value character, space and countryside living within commuting distance of Chelmsford. The hamlet location brings peace and very low local crime, but also average mobile signal and a degree of isolation from frequent amenities; public transport and village facilities are present but limited. The renovation is recent and thorough, though as with any extended historic house ongoing maintenance of traditional materials should be expected.
In short, Old Manse offers rare scale and period detail coupled with contemporary comforts — ideal for families or those seeking a spacious country home close to good schools and fast links to London.
