9 bedroom detached house for sale

GEORGIAN - Circa 1800 - A remarkable opportunity to acquire this former Rectory and adjoining Glebe House, with outbuildings to include a 1,700ft2 Essex barn and further storage building, nestled within a plot of circa 3.5 acres. Set in the glorious countryside of Willingale, 8 miles west of Chelmsford, this notable home enjoys the grandeur of the Georgian era, blended with later Victorian elements, combining to offer a total of 6,700 ft2 of internal accommodation, including a useable cellar.

The primary house, The Old Rectory, spans three principal floors plus cellar, offering much-admired, classic styling of the era, as well as glorious room proportions, most notably the grand entrance hall and principal reception rooms, which boast the most magnificent tall sash windows and ceiling heights.

The adjoining Glebe House is sizeable in its own right, with two reception rooms, a kitchen, conservatory, three bedrooms and a bathroom. An Essex barn within the grounds provides further opportunity, ideal for storage, or perhaps conversion to additional living or leisure accommodation, or office space, subject to planning & listed building consent.

Externally, the private grounds offer a tranquil and natural environment to enjoy, including a swimming pool to the rear terrace. The sizeable driveway is gated, enhancing the privacy and security. This is a fine opportunity to purchase a period, country home in mid-Essex, with all the convenience of great nearby schooling, transport links, shopping & leisure facilities, yet within this pleasing village setting.
