Set within the conservation area of Churchgate Street, this end-of-terrace Victorian cottage blends period character with sympathetic modernisation. The ground floor offers a cosy sitting room with original brick fireplace, a hand-built kitchen and an orangery-style dining room ideal for family meals or entertaining.
Upstairs are principal bedrooms with original wooden flooring and shutters, a generous period-style bathroom with roll-top bath, plus a versatile loft room/dormer space that works well as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office. A useful rear outbuilding and utility/storage room add practical space rarely found in cottages of this age.
The home has been newly renovated and benefits from double glazing and fast broadband, making it comfortable and well-connected. Note the property uses electric storage heating and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and future improvement plans. The small rear garden is accessed via steps and offers limited outdoor space compared with modern family homes.
Overall this freehold cottage will suit buyers who value character, a conservation-area location and flexible accommodation rather than large gardens or low running costs. Nearby shops, a village pub and good primary schools add to the appeal for families looking for a charming Old Harlow address.
