About this property
Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000
If walls could talk, this one would have excellent stories.
Set along The Street in the ever-popular village of Roxwell, this Grade II listed 18th-century home (1796) is a rare blend of historic charm and modern practicality, located just four miles west of Chelmsford city centre
close enough for the commute, far enough for the calm.
Original exposed beams and retained brickwork serve as daily reminders that this home has been standing proud since the Georgian era. A sympathetic refurbishment in 1973 brought the layout into the modern age (goodbye impractical living, hello sensible flow), all while staying true to the property’s original character
because trends fade, but craftsmanship doesn’t.
The ground floor offers a generously sized lounge/dining room, perfect for everything from quiet evenings by lamplight to dinner parties that accidentally turn into late nights. To the rear, the kitchen provides a practical, well-considered space that keeps the home running smoothly, supported by a ground-floor bathroom and additional storage
because even period homes need to be practical sometimes.
Upstairs, the story continues with two well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes and connected by a central landing that feels cosy rather than cramped. It’s a layout that works
and has worked
for over two centuries.
Roxwell offers the best of both worlds: village life with city convenience. Think peaceful surroundings, strong community spirit, and easy access to Chelmsford’s shops, restaurants, mainline station and schools. This is a home for buyers who appreciate character over clichés, history over hype, and a property with a past as rich as its future.
Chelmsford is a vibrant and well-connected city offering the perfect balance of urban convenience and green open space. Home to a mainline railway station with fast, direct services into London Liverpool Street, the city is particularly popular with commuters, while its thriving high street, Bond Street shopping quarter, and wide selection of restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities cater to modern lifestyles. Highly regarded schools, riverside walks along the Chelmer, and easy access to surrounding countryside all add to Chelmsford’s appeal, making it a sought-after location for families, professionals and downsizers alike.
