Summary - Gestingthorpe Road, Little Maplestead, Halstead, CO9 CO9 2SJ
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious renovated cottage on a large private plot with home office and gardens.
Deceptively spacious 205 sqm (2,206 sqft) of accommodation
Set on a generous third-of-an-acre plot in peaceful Little Maplestead, this deceptively spacious detached cottage blends original character with careful modernisation. At about 205 sqm (2,206 sqft) the house offers five principal bedrooms (plus a dressing room that could be used as a sixth), three bathrooms and a flexible layout with two staircases — ideal for family living, multigenerational use or home-working.
The accommodation includes multiple reception rooms (sitting room, living room with log burner, dining room, TV room and a sun room with bifold doors) plus a cottage-style kitchen, utility and a separate home office/studio and bar area. Recent refurbishment has refreshed services and finishes while retaining exposed beams, feature fireplaces and timber detailing, creating a warm, characterful home ready to move into.
Outside, mature landscaped gardens provide excellent privacy, a large patio with covered pergola for entertaining, several outbuildings and ample off-road parking. The garden office offers dedicated workspace; the plot’s size and layout also provide scope for further landscaping or additional outbuildings subject to consents.
Practical notes: the property is freehold and in a very low-crime, semi-rural setting with attractive countryside views. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, so buyers who need high-speed connectivity should plan for alternatives. The layout’s two-staircase arrangement may suit flexible household needs but could feel segmented for buyers preferring an open-plan single-flow layout.
