This exceptional two-bedroom ground floor apartment is set within a beautifully converted Victorian rectory, offering a unique blend of historic elegance.
With its grand private entrance, soaring ceilings, and exquisite period features throughout, including wooden panelling, arched walkways, ceiling roses, and expansive original windows, this home is full of character and flooded with natural light. The vast drawing room with a period-style fireplace opens out onto a sun-soaked south-facing patio, while the stylish country-style kitchen also benefits from garden views and outdoor access.

East Hanningfield is a picturesque and peaceful village, highly regarded for its strong community and desirable lifestyle. The area offers a well-rated primary school, charming local restaurants, and scenic countryside walks, all while being within easy reach of both Maldon and Chelmsford City. Excellent transport links to the A12 and A13 ensure effortless connectivity, making this the ideal location for both rural tranquillity and urban convenience.

Upon entering the property through its private entrance, you are welcomed into a vast central hallway which beautifully links all areas of the home. The kitchen is full of charm and function, opening directly to a sunny patio with views over the landscaped communal gardens. The elegant drawing room, complete with feature fireplace, offers a perfect entertaining space with direct garden access. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned with ample fitted storage and a recently renovated en-suite. A second spacious double bedroom also opens to the outside and features fitted wardrobes. A large period-style family bathroom completes the interior, offering a timeless finish, with grand ceiling and original period tiles.

Externally, the apartment is surrounded by well-maintained communal gardens and enjoys its own allocated parking space as well as a private single garage.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a truly rare opportunity to own a home of such character, scale, and architectural beauty.
Whether enjoyed as it stands or thoughtfully enhanced to create something even more spectacular, this remarkable apartment offers endless potential in a timeless setting, a perfect blend of heritage, comfort, and future vision.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
