Spacious Georgian cottage on 1.28 acres with countryside views and outbuildings.
About 1.28 acre mature, landscaped plot with farmland views
Set within about 1.28 acres of formal and secluded gardens, Brick Kiln Cottage is a substantial detached period home offering commanding countryside views and flexible family living. The heart of the house is a large open-plan kitchen, breakfast and sitting area with full-height picture windows and bifold doors that connect directly to the rear terrace and lawn — ideal for family life and entertaining. The property also features a dual-aspect lounge, separate dining room and a front study for working from home.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from full-height windows and two Juliet balconies, a dressing room and a refitted four-piece ensuite. Two further bedrooms also include ensuites and dressing rooms, with the fourth served by the family bathroom — good separation for children or guests. A detached double garage with a first-floor hobby room/gym, ample driveway parking and outbuildings add practical storage and hobby space.
Practical features include solar panels and an electric car charging point, private drainage and oil-fired central heating. The plot’s size, mature planting and dual access provide seclusion and potential for further landscaping or leisure uses, subject to the existing covenants. The house is offered chain free and sits within easy driving distance of Hatfield Peverel, Terling and the A12 for commuter access.
Notable constraints are factual and important: the property uses oil heating (no mains gas), has an EPC rating of D and the external walls are original solid brick (likely requiring insulation upgrade if desired). There is an annual payment for use of the separate side access road to Lord Rayleigh Farms, and a covenant restricts building an additional dwelling within the plot. These points should be considered by buyers weighing renovation or development plans.
