Full Description: <p>Prominent Georgian residence located two miles from Chelmsford city centre. The Old Vicarage holds a Grade II listing due to its architectural and historical significance. An excerpt from the listing describes it as a noteworthy early 18th-century red brick house with distinct features such as a parapet on all sides, elegantly arched corners, and a finely crafted brick cornice. With two principal storeys, an attic level, and cellars, this residence has remained under the same ownership for 37 years, having been acquired from the Church in 1986. The property boasts generously sized rooms with tall ceilings, providing ample and versatile living space. It comprises four spacious reception rooms, including a substantial reception area adjoining the utility space at the back of the house. This portion could be developed into an independent annexe, featuring an external entrance (subject to obtaining the necessary planning approvals).</p><p>Upon entering the vestibule, you're welcomed into a grand hallway that spans the entire depth of the house. This hallway grants access to three expansive reception rooms and the kitchen/breakfast room located at the rear, overlooking the gardens. Connected to the kitchen is a sizeable utility room, a bathroom, and a rear reception space, which has the potential to function as a self-contained annexe. The first floor accommodates four generous bedrooms, three of which have en-suite facilities. Stairs lead to the second floor, where four additional bedrooms and a shower room are situated.</p><p>The property boasts a substantial courtyard parking area, accessed through a wide brick-walled entrance. To the left, a spacious lawn area can be found, followed by access to divided storage outbuildings. The walled gardens at the rear are primarily covered in well-maintained lawns and adorned with mature trees. Adjacent to the house is an elevated terrace, ideal for enjoying outdoor meals. The private gardens ensure total seclusion, and span approximately three-quarters of an acre.</p><p>The property is conveniently situated within the vibrant village of Great Baddow in the conservation area. Great Baddow offers a range of local shops, eateries, pubs, primary schools, and a high school. Chelmsford city lies just over two miles to the south, providing abundant amenities including a large shopping centre, two grammar schools, and a mainline railway station connecting to London Liverpool Street.</p><p><strong>Anti-Money Laundering Checks and Legal Support:</strong><br />A mandatory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check is required on all buyers and sellers and is facilitated via our legal partner at a cost of £65 per property payable upon instruction.
