A handsome, Grade II Listed timber-framed cottage in the heart of Littlebury, Beech Cottage blends historic character with comfortable family living. The house is beautifully presented with exposed beams, attractive fireplaces, and well-proportioned reception rooms that suit everyday life and entertaining. The fitted kitchen and two well-equipped bath/shower rooms make the layout practical for a growing household.
Set on about 0.2 acre, the mature rear garden is a standout feature: mostly lawn, well-established trees and hedging provide privacy and a sheltered feel, while a gravel driveway and detached double garage offer generous off-street parking. Planning consent exists to replace the garage with a timber cartlodge and hayloft, including photovoltaic panels to the south elevation, adding potential to improve storage and energy efficiency. Photovoltaic panels are already an environmental feature of the property.
The location is village-centre convenient, with an active local community and easy access to Saffron Walden (c.2 miles), Audley End station and the M11, making Cambridge and London commutable. Local schools rated Good to Outstanding lie within easy reach, supporting family life.
Buyers should note the Listed status: necessary consents and restrictions will affect alterations and refurbishment. Internal room proportions are characteristic of an older cottage, with some lower ceilings and smaller rooms. Council Tax is described as expensive and any purchaser should factor listed-property maintenance and consent costs into their plans.
