Summary - HILLCREST CHAPEL HILL HALSTEAD CO9 1JP
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful detached home with large garden and conservatory, ready to personalise.
Three bedroom detached period cottage with exposed timbers and brick fireplaces
This three-bedroom detached period cottage on Chapel Hill blends traditional character with practical family space. Packed with exposed timbers, red brick fireplaces and two generous reception rooms, the house retains authentic charm while offering a large conservatory and a bespoke oak kitchen with vaulted ceiling and skylights. Set on a very large plot, the rear garden is terraced with a patio, lawn, decked seating area and pergola with established wisteria—ideal for outdoor entertaining or further landscaping.
The layout suits family living: two ground-floor reception rooms, conservatory, ground-floor shower/utility and kitchen, plus three first-floor bedrooms and a shower room. The property was previously two cottages and retains quirks such as two staircases and low ceilings in parts. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install dates are unknown. EPC rating D (58) and solid brick construction mean the home has period authenticity but limited wall insulation (assumed).
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain and excellent mobile and fast broadband—useful for commuters or home workers. Notable considerations are the age of the building (pre-1900), areas with low ceilings and dated fittings, and likely scope for energy-efficiency improvements (solid walls assumed uninsulated). Council Tax Band D and average local services make this a straightforward town-centre family purchase.
For buyers seeking a character cottage with scope to personalise, this offers immediate livability alongside clear potential to upgrade energy performance and modernise certain finishes. Viewing will reveal its size, character features and the generous external plot that adds long-term value.
