Mary Munnion Quarter, Chelmsford, CM2

Occupying part of one of Chelmsford’s most historic and architecturally significant conversions, this exceptional two-bedroom apartment offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home full of character, history and individuality.

The former St John’s Hospital — originally constructed in 1837 as the Chelmsford Union Workhouse — has been sympathetically transformed into an exclusive residential development, where stunning Victorian architecture has been carefully preserved to create a truly distinctive living environment. Set within the highly regarded St John’s Conservation Area, the development is renowned locally for its impressive period buildings, landscaped communal grounds and unique atmosphere.

Internally, the apartment offers remarkable “wow-factor” accommodation with soaring ceilings, exposed painted roof trusses, exposed brickwork and beautiful arched mullion-style windows that flood the property with natural light throughout. The combination of historic character and contemporary styling creates a home unlike the average apartment currently available on the market.

The centrepiece of the property is the superb open-plan kitchen/living area, an impressive entertaining space enhanced by vaulted ceilings and original architectural detailing. The modern fitted kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances and sleek high-gloss units, perfectly complementing the building’s period charm.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, each enjoying the same striking character features and impressive proportions, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a stylish en-suite shower room. A modern family bathroom further complements the accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys beautifully maintained communal surroundings together with an allocated parking space and permit-controlled visitor parking.

Situated within easy access of Chelmsford City Centre and Chelmsford Railway Station, the property is perfectly placed for commuters whilst also being close to an excellent range of shops, restaurants, parks and leisure facilities.

Properties within this landmark conversion remain consistently sought-after due to their rarity, history and individuality, making this a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals, downsizers or anyone searching for a home with genuine character and architectural significance.
