Summary - Margaret Roding House, Chelmsford Road CM6 1QL
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Georgian elegance with outbuildings, pool and huge grounds — listed status applies.
Grade II listed former rectory on about seven acres
An impressive Grade II listed former rectory set in about seven acres, this Georgian house blends period grandeur with extensive outbuildings and leisure facilities. The main house offers generous reception rooms, high ceilings, sash windows and marble fireplaces across a substantial 5,271 sq ft. A self-contained one‑bed annexe and multiple garages/outbuildings provide flexible accommodation and strong ancillary space for vehicles, workshops or home business use.
The grounds are a major selling point: heated outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, a large barn, bespoke home office, triple garage plus additional garaging and storage for up to eight vehicles. Mature specimen trees and landscaped beds surround the property, giving privacy and a generous plot suited to equestrian, hobby farming or leisure uses.
Practical considerations are important: the house is Grade II listed, which preserves character but will restrict alterations and may complicate works. The EPC rating is F and the heating is oil‑fuelled with boiler and radiators; walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, all of which add running and improvement costs. Council tax is described as very expensive. Buyers should allow budget for ongoing maintenance and for any listed‑consent works.
This home suits buyers seeking a historically significant, roomy country residence with extensive ancillary space and privacy — families, multi‑generational households or those wanting a lifestyle property in the countryside. It represents a rare opportunity to own a landmark building with scope to adapt within the constraints of listed status.
