Hylands House is a spectacular Grade II* neo-classical villa originally built in 1730 as a modest Queen Anne style mansion. Throughout the years the House has been enlarged and transformed by different owners.
Chelmsford City Council purchased the estate in 1966 and has completely restored the building to produce the beautiful House you see today.
The stunning interior reflects the different stages of the building’s history, with beautifully restored Victorian and Georgian rooms that evoke the opulence and elegance of their time. The exquisite white stuccoed exterior, with its graceful columns, brings to life the nineteenth century design of the celebrated architect, Humphry Repton.
Hylands House offers a unique and memorable setting for your special day, and a chance to be part of history!
