This two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage offers characterful living in a tucked-away Heybridge location, suited to a confident first-time buyer. The sitting room centres on an exposed brick fireplace, while a cottage-style kitchen with granite worktops and a separate utility deliver practical daily living. The ground floor bathroom is modern and ready to use.
Upstairs are two modest bedrooms and flexible living spaces across a small 536 sq ft footprint — economical to run but limited for growing families. Outside space is nearby rather than immediately adjacent: an enclosed garden a short walk away provides decking, lawn and an allocated parking space at the rear. Note there is also a parcel of land used by previous owners which is not registered to the title; the seller holds an indemnity policy and buyers should obtain legal advice.
Important considerations: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and sits within an area of higher-than-average crime and local deprivation. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. These factors affect insurance, resilience and suitability for some buyers; confirm costs and protections before proceeding.
For the right buyer this cottage offers affordable entry to the Maldon/Heybridge area, characterful interiors and off-street parking. It suits first-time purchasers who prioritise location and charm and who are prepared to accept the site constraints and flood-related implications.
