This detached cottage, believed to date from the 1750s, offers a rare slice of English character close to the Chelmer and Blackwater Canal. Exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and sash-style windows create immediate charm, while two double bedrooms and a good-sized kitchen make the layout practical for everyday living.
The plot is a key selling point: a large, private garden with mature planting and an intriguing outbuilding (said to be a former air-raid shelter) gives scope for gardening, entertaining or hobby use. Riverside and promenade walks into Maldon are within easy reach, and there is an allocated parking space on Chelmer Lane.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and the timber-frame walls are assumed to have no insulation. Access from the parking space is via a pedestrian right of way of approximately 100ft, and accommodation is limited to two bedrooms and a single bathroom. The cottage will suit someone who values character and location and is prepared to manage or upgrade period fabric and flood resilience where needed.
