The Building & Gardens
A Fine Victorian
Mansion
The Chelmsford Club occupies a grand Victorian mansion on New London Road. Originally set in 4.5 acres, the property has been thoughtfully adapted over the decades while retaining its historic character.
Members enjoy a variety of internal and external spaces — from the social bar and Adler Room to the gardens and petanque court. Each space has its own character, blending heritage with modern utility.
Our Spaces
The Main House
Advertised in the 1924 sales catalogue as a fine 9-bedroom Victorian mansion — the heart of the club.
The Bar
A welcoming space at the centre of club life, completely redesigned as part of the recent restoration.
The Cellars & Crypt
An 8-room cellar covering the vast majority of the footprint, once designated an air raid shelter for 150 people. The first phase of refurbishment is "The Crypt" wine cellar.

The Adler Room
A versatile venue room for hosting events, also used as a modern working space.

The Gardens & Pavilion
Originally extending to 4.5 acres with a Victorian fountain and ornamental pond. Features a Pavilion — believed to be a Victorian Courting Pavilion — and the newest petanque court in Chelmsford.
