A rare chance to own a converted manor house in a peaceful hamlet setting, just 2.3 miles from Chelmsford city centre and its mainline rail links. The apartment benefits from the grandeur of high ceilings, sash windows and large rooms that retain strong Victorian character. The living room features a feature fireplace and the master suite includes an en‑suite shower and loft access for extra storage or occasional use.
Externally the property sits behind a sweeping gravel driveway with a double garage, adjacent parking space and communal grounds. There is an enclosed private garden laid mainly to lawn plus useful outbuildings with plumbing and power. The plot is noticeably large for this type of townhouse and offers scope to improve landscaping or extend (subject to consents).
Practical considerations: the building is solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation and primary heating is warm‑air oil-fired, so energy performance and running costs may be higher than modern equivalents. Broadband speeds are slow locally and council tax is high (Band F). There is a modest service charge of £600. The property will suit buyers who value period proportions and space and are prepared for sensitive updating rather than a move‑in modern home.
This home will appeal to families or buyers seeking a character property with scope for enhancement, plus those who commute to London via nearby Chelmsford. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, natural light and flexible room layout offered by this substantial three-storey conversion.
