Maybush Cottage is a detached, part-timber character home in the centre of Great Oakley village, offered chain free and suitable for buyers able to fund purchase without mortgage delays. The sitting room centres on an open fireplace and flows to a compact but well-equipped kitchen/diner, making the ground floor feel warm and sociable despite overall small room sizes and low ceilings.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a modern ground-floor bathroom; two bedrooms are double size while the third is a small single or study. The property benefits from double glazing and LPG boiler heating to radiators, with fast broadband and very low local crime — practical positives for everyday living. The private rear garden of about 45ft gives useful outdoor space for relaxing or container gardening.
Important practical notes: the house is timber framed and was built before 1900, with assumed absence of wall insulation which will affect heating efficiency and running costs. The main fuel is LPG, and the building’s small overall footprint and low ceilings make it best suited to buyers who do not need large rooms or tall ceiling heights. Cash buyers are favoured by the seller’s request and the chain-free sale.
This cottage will particularly suit buyers looking for a cosy village home near a popular primary school, local shop and pub, with countryside walks on the doorstep. There is scope to improve thermal performance and personalise the interior to add value, but major structural upgrades are not stated.
