3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large mature gardens, village green views and outbuilding potential (STPP).
Three-bedroom detached 1930s cottage with period features
Roydon Green Cottage is a 1930s detached village home with strong period character and generous gardens of about one third of an acre. The house offers a spacious sitting room with a wood-burning stove and views over the village green, separate dining room, cottage-style kitchen and three bedrooms served by a single first-floor bathroom. A substantial timber summerhouse is set up as a home office and historic brick potting sheds within the grounds present scope for development, subject to planning permission (STPP).
The mature, well-stocked gardens are a principal asset: lawns, seating areas, vegetable plot and sheltered ‘secret garden’ create privacy and outdoor living options. Ample driveway parking adds practicality for multiple vehicles and the village location is highly commuter-friendly, with Roydon station providing fast rail links to London and easy road access to the M11, M25 and A10.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property sits in a high flood risk area and local crime levels are above average. The house is of solid brick construction with no cavity insulation (assumed) and, while double glazing and gas central heating are installed, further thermal upgrading and general updating may be desirable. Council tax is described as expensive.
This house will suit families seeking a character home with extensive gardens in a sought-after village, or buyers looking for a small development/project opportunity (potting sheds subject to planning). It combines immediate liveability with clear potential for sensitive improvement and possible outbuilding conversion (STPP).
