Sandpit Cottage is a rare single-storey country home that blends 19th‑century character with contemporary living. The newly renovated layout delivers more than 3,000 sq ft of accessible accommodation on one level, making daily life easy while preserving period features such as an exposed chimney breast and a working fireplace. The principal house offers three double bedrooms and generous living space; a separate fully self‑contained annexe provides an additional double bedroom, living area and kitchen — ideal for guests, multi‑generational living or holiday let income.
Set on over an acre of south‑facing grounds, the property feels private and park‑like. Terraces, large lawns, mature borders, a swimming pool and hot tub create an outdoor lifestyle that connects directly to 500 acres of Weald Country Park through a private gate. The open‑plan kitchen/living area is a standout, fitted with Neff appliances, underfloor heating and bi‑fold doors that extend living outdoors; a cosy snug with a hidden bar offers a quieter retreat.
Practical strengths include off‑street parking, freehold tenure and no flood risk. The location delivers a countryside pace while remaining commutable — Brentwood’s Elizabeth Line reaches central London in under an hour. However, the hamlet setting brings some isolation from town centres and local services, and the area records a higher-than-average crime rate, which some buyers may consider a downside. Broadband speeds are average here; while mobile signal is excellent, those needing top broadband performance should check options.
Buyers should also budget for the upkeep of garden features and leisure facilities: the pool, hot tub and extensive grounds require ongoing maintenance. Overall, Sandpit Cottage will suit buyers wanting a substantial, single‑level home with versatile living options, strong outdoor amenities and easy access to country walks — particularly families, multi‑generational households or buyers seeking a high‑quality holiday‑let opportunity.
