Summary - OAK COTTAGE WATLING LANE THAXTED DUNMOW CM6 2QY
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Three bedrooms, three reception rooms and parking in historic Thaxted.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong period character
Oak Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched cottage set on a sought-after lane in picturesque Thaxted. The house combines traditional character — exposed beams, an open brick fireplace and a thatched roof — with practical comforts such as underfloor heating across the ground floor (individual thermostats) and parking for two cars.
Accommodation is versatile for family life: three bedrooms (one with a ground-floor WC), three reception rooms and a main bathroom give flexible living and entertaining space. The property totals about 1,139 sq ft and feels larger inside thanks to multiple reception areas and period proportions.
Important practical points: the cottage is listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate planning or repair works. It will be sold at auction via secure online bidding (terms apply) and is offered chain free. The small plot and above-average Council Tax Band E should be factored into ongoing costs. Buyers should be prepared for the obligations and potential delays that come with a listed building.
For families seeking character and village living, this home offers a rare mix of historic charm and everyday comfort in a friendly community with good local schools and village amenities. Viewing or bidding is recommended for anyone wanting a sympathetic period home near Dunmow with immediate occupancy potential.
