Set within approximately 43 acres of landscaped parkland, Hatfield Priory is an exceptional Grade II* listed Georgian country house enjoying far-reaching views across the Chelmer Valley. Located around 8 km north-east of Chelmsford, the property offers a rare blend of historic elegance and refined modern living.
Built between 1769 and 1771, the house is a fine example of mid-Georgian architecture, widely attributed to the influence of Sir Robert Taylor, with an impressive five-bay frontage, sweeping stone steps and wrought-iron railings.


Extending to over 15,000 sq ft and arranged mainly over three grand floors, the accommodation includes a magnificent entrance hall and a series of elegant reception rooms ideal for both entertaining and family life. At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan kitchen and dining room, fitted with Wolf and Aga appliances, alongside pantry, freezer room and laundry. A self-contained apartment on the lower ground floor provides ideal staff or guest accommodation.
The first floor features a stunning principal bedroom suite with dressing room and luxury en-suite, complemented by five further bedrooms, three with en-suite bathrooms.


Approached via two gated driveways, the estate also benefits from an orangery, garaging and stables, with scope for further accommodation. The grounds are a particular highlight, featuring formal lakes, waterfalls, boathouse, woodland walks and historic garden features
