Set on the edge of Writtle, this four-bedroom terraced cottage combines period character with practical family living. The ground-floor bedroom with an ensuite offers flexible use for guests or multigenerational living, while the living room’s brick feature fireplace provides a cosy focal point for everyday life. A generous kitchen/diner opens to an enclosed rear garden, giving children safe outdoor space and room for family activities.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking and a sizeable outbuilding (previously a double garage) that could be repurposed as storage, a workshop, or a home office. The property is freehold, in a very affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and local primary and high-performing secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is an older mid-terrace house (circa 1930–1949) with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, and heating is supplied by an oil-fired boiler and radiators. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown; future insulation or heating upgrades may be advisable to reduce running costs. The local crime level is above average for the area—worth checking with local sources if security is a priority.
Overall, the cottage will suit families seeking character, space and a semi-rural setting close to amenities, or buyers looking to add value by improving thermal efficiency and modernising services. The layout and plot provide good scope for modest refurbishment rather than a full structural overhaul.
