Description

Spergula Cottage – A Charming Period Retreat in Old Moulsham - This exquisite three-bedroom detached bungalow brims with period character while nestled in a peaceful private drive within Chelmsford's sought-after Old Moulsham district. Dating back to the mid-1800s, this historic cottage formed part of the prestigious Spergula House estate - designed by renowned Victorian architects Beadle, Son & Chancellor - and retains beautiful original features including high ceilings, picture rails and exposed red brickwork.

The property's south-facing gardens offer multiple charming spaces - from the sunny east courtyard perfect for morning coffee to mature west garden beds bursting with fruit trees and shrubs. Inside, the spacious lounge-diner delights with original pine flooring and feature fireplace. The well-equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into a versatile boot room/utility space, complete with external access - ideal for keeping muddy boots and laundry out of sight.

With three characterful bedrooms, plentiful off-road parking, and a versatile garage/workshop, this home blends heritage charm with practical living. Its prime location places you just 1 mile from Chelmsford's vibrant city centre, with outstanding schools, leafy parks including Oaklands Park, and excellent transport links (1.1 miles to mainline station, 2.7 miles to A12) right on your doorstep.

Significant potential exists (STPP) to create a wrap-around extension or loft conversion, offering the perfect opportunity to enhance this rare piece of Chelmsford's history while preserving its timeless character.
