Characterful central home with garden, ideal for first-time buyers.
West-facing private garden, fully enclosed
Saras Cottage is a well-presented two-bedroom period home tucked into the heart of Thaxted. The interior balances original character — exposed beams and a brick-surround fireplace — with practical modern touches including a fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom. A private west-facing garden provides sunny afternoon and evening use, ideal for small-scale entertaining or gardening.
The cottage feels spacious for its age with a large lounge/diner and good first-floor storage via a partly boarded loft and built-in cupboard. Its central location places shops, the primary school and local amenities within easy walking distance, while road links to the M11 and nearby stations keep larger towns reachable.
Buyers should note this is an older timber-framed end-terrace built before 1900; the walls are assumed to lack insulation. The reception has relatively low ceilings in places and the overall plot is small. Services and fixtures have not been independently tested, so a pre-purchase survey and service checks are recommended to confirm condition and running costs.
With freehold tenure, modest council tax and fast broadband available, the house suits first-time buyers or those seeking a character cottage to personalise. It offers comfortable living now and clear scope to improve insulation and energy performance over time.
