7 bedroom house

Predominantly Elizabethan c. 1555 - Set within a tranquil village location on a plot of approaching 3.5 acres (stls) on an elevated position within the heart of Roxwell Village. Listed (Grade II), this former Baronial Manor House has origins dating back to c.1500's, and is noted in the Domesday Book.



As an outstanding example of Elizabethan elegance, Dukes Manor has been sympathetically and thoroughly renovated by the current owners. The estate consists of a three tiered accommodation in the main house, approaching 6,000 sq ft, as well as two cellars, and seven major outbuildings of various uses. An extremely unique and sought after addition is that of a self-contained annexe, connected to the Manor House, which is perfect for inter-generational living. The breadth of functionality Dukes Manor holds is widened by three stables for equestrian purposes, tennis courts, and a heated swimming pool.



As one might expect for a property of this age and grandeur, an extensive array of period features are contained inside. These include hand-tooled cornicing, panelling, complementary skirting and architrave, leaded light windows and shutters, as well as working original fireplaces. Along with some quirks of the period, such as a priests hole, these features have been combined with appropriate modernity. Together they form an extremely comfortable living space, while maintaining the historical integrity of Dukes Manor.

The main building contains numerous receptions - a drawing room, magnificent reception hallway, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room (fitted by Christians), snug, study and laundry room. The adjoining annexe includes a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast, conservatory, bathroom, shower room and three bedrooms. Outbuildings include a coach house, two garages, three stables, hays store, greenhouse, machine store, workshop, games room, and pool house, as well as multiple storage rooms.



Roxwell Village is ideally located within easy reach of Chelmsford main line Railway Station (4 miles), good road links (7 miles to A12) and within 17 miles of Stansted airport. The village itself offers good local amenities including general store, pub, church & Primary School. Chelmsford is home to two fantastic Grammar schools, King Edwards School for Boys & Chelmsford County High for Girls plus there is a good selection of excellent Independent Schools both in Chelmsford and nearby.
