Margaret Roding House,Chelmsford Road,DUNMOW,CM6 1QL
CM6 1QL
7 bed 1 bath Country House
Grade II restored rectory on c.7 acres with pool, tennis court and extensive outbuildings.
Seven bedrooms across 6,500 sq ft of restored period accommodation
An exceptional, fully restored Grade II country house set in almost 7 acres in the peaceful parish of Margaret Roding. The late-Georgian former rectory extends to some 6,500 sq ft and combines high ceilings, tall sash windows and elegant fireplaces with a sympathetic contemporary finish. Extensive outbuildings (2,000+ sq ft) include a large barn, home office, triple garage, tractor store and a BBQ barn — ideal for hobby farming, equestrian use or home-based business.
The house offers seven bedrooms and generous reception rooms, an orangery linking living space to garden, a large kitchen with central island and a self-contained two-storey annexe of approximately 935 sq ft. Grounds include formal lawns, specimen planting, a heated outdoor swimming pool, hard-surface tennis court and gated driveway with courtyard parking — a rare mix of period character and wide-ranging practical amenities.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which preserves character but will restrict alterations and may complicate consenting and maintenance. The listing and the property's scale mean higher running and upkeep responsibilities. The listed status, large plot and extensive outbuildings are strengths for buyers seeking a historic estate, but not suited to those wanting a low-maintenance home.
This home will particularly suit large families, multi-generational households or buyers seeking an income- or leisure-led country estate near commuter routes. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and the location feels remote yet accessible for international travel and Chelmsford/Dunmow connections.
