A Grade II listed Georgian residence has come on to the market for £1.6million after 37 years under the same ownership.
Located about two miles from Chelmsford city centre, the Old Vicarage sits in the conservation area of Great Baddow.
The property was acquired from the Church in 1986.
Described as a noteworthy early 18th Century red brick house, it features a parapet on all sides, arched corners, and a brick cornice.
The accommodation is spread over two principal storeys, with an attic level and cellars beneath.
Inside, the vestibule leads to a hallway running the full depth of the home.
The hallway connects to three reception rooms at the front and a kitchen/breakfast room to the rear, which overlooks the gardens.
There are four reception rooms in total, including a rear reception space which adjoins a utility room and a bathroom.
According to the listing, the rear part of the house could be developed as an independent annexe with its own entrance, subject to planning approvals.
The kitchen is connected directly to the utility space, creating a flow between food preparation and household chores.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms.
En-suite facilities are available in three of the bedrooms.
Four additional bedrooms and a shower room are found on the second floor.
The grounds include a substantial courtyard for parking, accessed via a wide brick-walled entrance.
To the left of the property there is a lawned area, which is next to a set of outbuildings used for storage.
Walled gardens behind the house feature lawns and mature trees.
A raised terrace adjoins the property.
The listing highlights the “total seclusion” of the gardens, which cover about three quarters of an acre.
Great Baddow has shops, pubs, places to eat, and both primary and high schools.
Chelmsford city, just over two miles away, has a mainline railway to London Liverpool Street, a shopping centre, and two grammar schools.
