This Grade II listed, timber-framed cottage sits opposite St Mary’s Church in Braughing Conservation Area and dates from the C16 or earlier. At around 649 sq ft it offers two bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom across two storeys — a compact, characterful home for someone who values historic fabric and village life.
The building is being sold chain-free by the Church Diocese and requires general refurbishment and sympathetic modernisation. Key period features remain — exposed beams, leaded windows and a charming front garden with views to the church — but the property will need careful updating, including delivering a separate water supply (currently shared with the adjoining hall).
Practicalities to note: the cottage uses electric storage heaters, has solid brick (uninsulated) walls, and listed status will bring consent and maintenance obligations that can restrict changes and add cost. The buyer must erect a 900mm timber picket fence within two months of completion and will need to satisfy listed-building requirements for any repair work.
For the right buyer this is an opportunity to restore a small, characterful village home with a large plot and highly desirable conservation location. It suits someone seeking a sympathetic renovation project — a downsizer who appreciates heritage or a specialist investor comfortable with listed-property constraints.
