This detached 17th-century cottage, extended in the 1970s, sits in the sought-after village of Great Bradley and is offered with no onward chain. The house combines period character — exposed brick chimneys, inglenook fireplace and vaulted ceilings — with flexible living: three reception rooms, three bedrooms and a fitted kitchen make it suitable for family life and entertaining.
The property occupies a very large, enclosed walled plot with a lawn, patios and sculpted seating areas, plus parking for around four cars and a carport beneath the house. The raised rear aspect brings open countryside glimpses from the first-floor bedroom and a sense of privacy useful for families who value outside space.
Buyers should note the cottage presents scope for modernisation rather than a full renovation; some areas show age and parts of the exterior and garage/annex appear to need work. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and underfloor system; services such as broadband and mobile signal are average for a rural area. Council tax is above average, and ongoing maintenance is to be expected for a house of this age.
Overall this is a characterful village cottage with generous gardens, flexible accommodation and immediate availability. It will suit a family or purchaser seeking rural character and outside space, who is prepared to carry out sympathetic updating to maximise the property’s potential.
