6 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Lodge Road, Writtle, Chelmsford
Ropers Hall is an impressive 16th-century Grade II listed property, situated in the heart of Writtle, just moments from The Green. This six-bedroom detached home offers a wealth of period features, perfectly complemented by modern amenities, all while preserving its historic character.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by the first reception room, which boasts beautiful parquet flooring and a striking inglenook fireplace with a working log burner. Log burners are a recurring feature throughout the home. The main lounge, carpeted and with exposed beams, provides views across the garden. A further two reception rooms on the ground floor are currently used as a playroom, with direct access to a secluded 'secret garden,' and a bar. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops, with exposed beams, while overlooking the courtyard. Additional ground floor conveniences include a pantry, utility room, and WC.
Upstairs, six well-proportioned bedrooms are accessed by two staircases: an original sweeping staircase and a secondary staircase. The two principal bedrooms each benefit from en-suite bathrooms, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom and separate shower room.
Externally, the property sits on over 0.4 acres of thoughtfully landscaped gardens. These have been carefully divided into zones, including a walled 'secret garden' with a lawn bordered by mature shrubs, a paved courtyard featuring original brick paving and a pond, and a generous main garden with expansive lawns, surrounded by flower beds and mature trees.
The property is approached via a private turning, leading to a double garage with ample parking for several vehicles.
