Period cottage with large garden, garage and easy commuter access — chain free.
Grade II listed cottage circa 1640 (listed status restricts alterations)
An evocative Grade II listed cottage dating to circa 1640, this detached house combines period charm with practical family space. Set on about a quarter-acre, the house offers four reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with breakfast area, and generous reception flow ideal for daily family life and entertaining. The mature, well-kept garden and sweeping driveway with a double garage provide substantial outdoor space and parking.
The original exposed beams, open fireplaces and reclaimed-wood character create a warm, authentic atmosphere throughout the principal rooms. Four first-floor bedrooms and two bathrooms give flexible sleeping arrangements for a growing family or guests. Mobile signal and fast broadband mean rural living without being cut off, and the A414 provides direct access to the M11 and M25 for commuting.
Buyers should note the listed status: repairs, extensions or major alterations will be subject to consents and may add cost and delay. The property will suit purchasers seeking historic character who are comfortable with conservation responsibilities and potential sympathetic refurbishment. Council tax is relatively high, and some ongoing maintenance should be expected given the age and fabric of the building.
Offered chain-free, this hamlet setting is attractive to families wanting countryside living close to good schools and road links, or to buyers looking for an atmospheric home with substantial garden and garage space.
