Spergula Cottage – A Charming Period Retreat in Old Moulsham - This exquisite three-bedroom detached bungalow brims with period character while nestled in a peaceful private drive within Chelmsford's sought-after Old Moulsham district.

Inside, the spacious lounge-diner delights with original pine flooring and feature fireplace.
