A charming flint-built detached cottage set on a large, private wrap-around garden in peaceful Freckenham. The house offers three reception rooms, a sun room and a sizeable kitchen-diner that together create flexible family living and easy entertaining space. Off-street parking for two cars and an EV charging point meet modern needs.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 but retains traditional solid brick walls that are assumed to lack cavity insulation. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators, and council tax is above average — important running costs to factor in.
Significant potential exists: plans have been drawn to add a separate dwelling at the side, offering scope for multi-generational living or rental income, subject to approval. The plot size and mature, secluded garden will particularly appeal to families who value outdoor space and privacy.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the house is an older build (pre-1900) with solid walls likely requiring insulation work, oil heating that may need updating in time, and a local crime rate above average. Broadband and mobile signal are average for the area. Flood risk is reported as none.
