Set in the heart of Great Bardfield, Hill House Cottage is a characterful one-bedroom terraced home offering a substantial footprint for a single-bedroom property. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace with a log burner and traditional windows give genuine period charm, while the private enclosed garden and off-street parking add strong practical benefits in a village setting.
The layout is compact: a cosy living room with stairs to the first floor, a small kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in storage. The shower room and some external elements will benefit from updating, and there are signs of minor damp in places that should be investigated. The cottage’s Grade II listed status preserves historic features but will make alterations more complex and may restrict permitted changes.
This home suits a first-time buyer wanting a village base, or an investor seeking a character let in an affluent rural area. Local amenities include a primary school rated Good, pubs, shops and easy road links to Great Dunmow, Saffron Walden, the M11 and Stansted Airport. Council tax is very cheap, crime is low and the property sits in a prospering countryside community.
Practicalities: freehold tenure, off-street parking for one car, enclosed garden with shed, and average mobile and broadband speeds. Buyers should factor in listed-building constraints and refurbishment need when considering budgets and plans.
