Spergula Cottage – A Rare Historical Treasure in Old Moulsham

McCartney Sales & Lettings are proud to present Spergula Cottage, a delightful three-bedroom detached bungalow brimming with character, set in the sought-after Old Moulsham area of Chelmsford. Nestled at the end of a private driveway, this exceptional home offers a peaceful escape from city life while being only a short stroll from local shops, cafés, and amenities.

Highlights at a Glance

• Rich History:

Dating back to the mid-1800s, Spergula Cottage once formed part of the Spergula House estate, crafted by renowned architects Beadle, Son & Chancellor. The first resident, Arthur Lucking, was the estate’s gardener, and the home still showcases the period’s charm with its high ceilings, picture rails, and original red brick façade.

• Spacious Living Area:

The generous lounge-diner is a welcoming heart of the home, featuring original pine flooring, an electric feature fireplace, and abundant natural light from double-glazed bow and side windows.

• Practical Kitchen & Utility:

Fitted with a range of eye- and base-level units, tiled splashbacks, and space for appliances, the kitchen flows seamlessly into a functional utility area with extra worktops and storage.

• Three Characterful Bedrooms:

Each bedroom offers its own unique charm, enhanced by period details such as picture rails and built-in storage.

• Beautifully Landscaped Gardens:

The south-facing grounds are divided into charming spaces:

• East Courtyard: A private, walled area perfect for alfresco dining.

• West Garden: Filled with mature borders, fruit trees, and shrubs.

• Main Lawn: Featuring a potting shed, summer house, and garage/workshop access—ideal for garden lovers.

• Ample Parking & Outbuildings:

Off road parking, a garage/workshop, and a cart lodge canopy for secure vehicle storage.

Further Potential

Subject to the necessary planning permissions, Spergula Cottage offers excellent scope for extension or adaptation to suit your lifestyle needs.

Combining timeless character with modern convenience, this home delivers a tranquil, heritage-rich setting just moments from Chelmsford’s vibrant city centre.
