Summary - Old Buildings Yard, The Street, High Easter, CHELMSFORD CM1 4QW
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded village home with large garden and versatile family space.
Historic cottage with sympathetic extensions and period features
Set discreetly at the end of a long gravel drive in the heart of High Easter, Old Buildings Yard is a sympathetically extended 1830s cottage offering spacious family living across two floors. The ground floor blends a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining family room with separate living and dining rooms, creating flexible reception space for daily life and entertaining. The house retains period character — exposed timbers, red brick fireplaces and a wood-burning stove — while engineered oak floorboards run through much of the ground floor.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms. The principal suite includes an ensuite dressing room and an ensuite shower room that is prepared but requires completion. The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Practical space includes a utility room and a downstairs cloakroom; oil-fired central heating and mains services are connected.
Outside, the property sits within a conservation area on about 0.23 acres (stls) of mature cottage garden with south-facing sunken courtyard and far-reaching countryside views. A long drive provides private parking for up to six vehicles. The location suits families seeking village life with access to nearby schools, local footpaths and transport links to Chelmsford and London.
Notable matters: the principal ensuite requires finishing and the timber weatherboarding will need periodic maintenance. Council Tax Band E and oil heating are also features to consider when budgeting ongoing costs.
