A well-loved, characterful cottage set in the heart of Braughing, offering authentic period detail and comfortable living across three bedrooms. Original features — exposed beams, parquet flooring and a fitted log burner — give the principal rooms real cottage charm while modern comforts include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating and fast broadband.
The west-facing garden is a peaceful, sheltered spot for afternoon sun and alfresco dining. A versatile outbuilding, with utility/WC and separate access, provides scope for a home office, studio or guest accommodation. The property is freehold and sits within a prosperous village environment, close to an outstanding primary school and local amenities.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the house dates from circa 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) so further insulation and improvements may be needed to maximise energy efficiency. There is a single family bathroom, a small plot size, and a medium flood risk for the area. Council tax is moderate. These factors should be weighed against the cottage’s character, location and ready-to-live-in presentation.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a village lifestyle with character and handy workspace potential. It offers an attractive balance of original features and everyday convenience, with scope to enhance energy performance and adapt the outbuilding to personal needs.
