4 bedroom detached house for sale in Hobbs Cross, Old Harlow, CM17

Summary - MEAD COTTAGE HOBBS CROSS HARLOW CM17 0NN

4 bed 2 bath Detached

Restored 17th-century cottage on a third-acre plot with garage, greenhouse and strong commuter links.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original beams and inglenook fireplace
Mead Cottage is a rare, Grade II listed thatched cottage blending 17th-century character with high-standard modern refurbishment. Exposed beams and a deep inglenook fireplace create immediate period charm, while the reworked kitchen, upgraded bathrooms and quality finishes give comfortable, move-in-ready living. The flexible layout — three reception rooms plus a study — suits family life, home-working and formal entertaining.

Set on just under a third of an acre, the private rear gardens are a major asset: mature borders, a heated Hartley Botanic greenhouse (currently an outdoor dining room), playhouse with power and a large detached 30' garage that doubles as a gym. Off-street parking and a block-paved driveway add everyday practicality for multiple cars.

Location is quietly rural yet well connected: Hobbs Cross sits within easy reach of Epping and Harlow stations and the M25/M11, making commuter journeys straightforward. Local schooling options and nearby recreational facilities support family living.

Important practical notes: the property’s Grade II listed status protects historic features but will restrict certain changes and may complicate future works. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area records higher crime levels than average, which prospective buyers should factor in despite the cottage’s secluded grounds.
