A Grade II listed, double-fronted detached cottage in the centre of Eastwick, offering abundant character and a sizeable secluded garden. The house retains exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, separate dining room and a fitted kitchen — features that will appeal to buyers seeking traditional charm and village living. The property sits on a generous plot with a walled courtyard, an outhouse with shower and utility space, and gated access to a further secluded ‘Secret Garden’.
The layout provides three double bedrooms and a family bathroom across two floors, with roughly 1,400 sq ft of accommodation and around nine principal rooms. This will suit families who want distinct living and dining areas or couples seeking home-office space. The location is rural yet within easy driving distance of Harlow Town station and local amenities, and the village benefits from low crime and an affluent, prospering countryside character.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate extensions or modernisation. The property is EPC exempt (no energy rating provided) and sits in Council Tax Band F, so running costs are likely higher than average. There is a medium flood risk for the area and broadband speeds are reported as slow; mobile signal is average. These are important practical points for anyone planning long-term occupation or homeworking.
Overall, this is a rare period home for buyers who prioritise historic character, garden privacy and village life over immediate turnkey modernisation. It offers scope to personalise within the limits of listed-building controls and benefits from useful outbuilding space, but prospective purchasers should budget for possibly higher upkeep, insurance and listed-building consent processes.
