Set on the edge of Fordham Heath, this detached three-bedroom cottage offers genuine character with exposed beams, original doors and a cosy layout ideal for family life. Two reception rooms create flexible living spaces while the kitchen/breakfast room and stable door provide easy access to the large rear garden. The plot is notably generous, with mature screening and a pond giving a private, countryside feel.
Practical benefits include a double garage with subject-to-planning potential for ancillary accommodation, off-street parking for two vehicles, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities in nearby Eight Ash Green include a primary school, shops, pub and sports pitches; Colchester and Marks Tey rail links provide commuter access to London.
Layout and limitations are straightforward: there are three bedrooms but only one ground-floor shower room, and the third bedroom is single-sized with eaves storage. Any conversion of the garage into an annex would require planning permission. The property presents as a character home that may suit owners who want period features with scope to update or extend.
For buyers after a village-edge home with sizable outside space and countryside walking on your doorstep, this house balances traditional charm with practical potential. Be aware of the single bathroom and the planning considerations if you want to create extra living accommodation.
