Summary - SPRINGWOOD STONEHILL ROAD ROXWELL CHELMSFORD CM1 4NP
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Charming 4-bed cottage on 3 acres with annex and paddocks, five miles from Chelmsford..
Approximately 3 acres including fenced paddocks and two field shelters
Set on approximately three acres in the hamlet of Roxwell, Springwood is a characterful detached cottage that combines period charm with substantial outdoor space. The main house offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across multiple levels, exposed timbers, original doors and open fireplaces, while a detached one-bedroom annex provides separate accommodation for guests or family.
Outside, mature cottage-style gardens, a summerhouse/home office, double car port and a sweeping gravel driveway lead to paddocks fenced for equestrian use with two field shelters. A converted roof terrace provides a private spot for panoramic countryside views and the property sits within easy reach of Chelmsford city centre and its schools and rail links.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by an oil-fired boiler to radiators, double glazing was installed before 2002, and the timber-frame construction appears to have little or no insulation (assumed). Council tax is noted as expensive. These factors mean modest upgrading and insulation work could be beneficial and would improve comfort and running costs.
This is a rare rural offering for buyers seeking space and lifestyle — ideal for families wanting on-site guest accommodation or purchasers with equestrian interests. The detached annex and large paddocks add flexibility, while the house’s age and construction mean buyers should allow for sympathetic maintenance and potential refurbishment to modern standards.
