An attractive early 19th-century timber‑framed cottage, this two-bedroom semi-detached home combines authentic period character with comfortable family living. Exposed beams, a feature log burner and two reception rooms give a cosy, traditional feel, while the extended kitchen and downstairs shower room add practical modern convenience. The property sits in the sought-after North Hill area of Little Baddow, surrounded by farmland and scenic walks, with a Grade II listed pub directly opposite.
The house occupies a small but beautifully maintained south-facing garden arranged over two levels — an excellent spot for outdoor dining and sun. A detached garage and private driveway deliver useful off-street parking. The current owners have received pre‑planning advice confirming the possibility of a single- or double-storey side extension or a second storey above the kitchen (subject to full planning permission), so there is clear scope to increase living space.
Upstairs provides two double bedrooms and a large family bathroom with bath and separate shower, suitable for family life or for flexible use as a home office/guest room. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, no identified flood risk and placement within catchment for several well-regarded schools.
Buyers should note broadband speeds are reported as slow and the plot is relatively small compared with some neighbouring properties. Pre-planning advice does not equal planning consent — any extension will require a full application. Overall, this property will suit buyers seeking period character in a peaceful village setting, with potential to create more space subject to consents.
