Summary - 2 Overhall Cottage, Colne Engaine CO6 2HW
2 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Picturesque rural pair with gardens and parking, ready for refurbishment.
Two adjoining two-bed cottages within Over Hall estate
Set within the historic Over Hall estate, Lot 2 comprises two connected two-bedroom cottages occupying about 0.52 acres of garden and parking. The pair sit in a quiet, picturesque hamlet between the Colne and Stour valleys, offering strong rental and staff-accommodation potential close to village amenities and good rail links to London.
The cottages retain period character and have double glazing installed after 2002. Accommodation totals approximately 1,821 sq ft across both properties, with front and rear gardens and off-street parking. The setting, low local crime and very affluent surrounding area are major appeal points for long-term lets or multigenerational living.
Practical considerations: the buildings date from 1831, have solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and an EPC rating of E. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators (not a community supply), which may mean higher running costs and future fuel sourcing considerations. The cottages would benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades and targeted refurbishment to maximise value and rental income.
This lot suits buy-to-let investors seeking rural income within a larger estate, or buyers wanting staff/ancillary accommodation alongside a principal property. It offers immediate usability with scope to increase returns through measured modernization and insulation works.
