Rose Cottage is an attractively presented, part‑thatched Grade II listed family home dating from the late 1600s, arranged over two floors and offering flexible 4–5 bedroom accommodation. Period features such as exposed beams, a wood‑burning stove and original timber framing give the house strong character while the country‑style kitchen and two reception rooms provide comfortable everyday living. Driveway parking for several vehicles and a large detached garage with workshop add practical value for families or hobbyists.
The generous, gated rear garden is a major asset: private, well‑established and suitable for entertaining, extension (subject to consent) or simply safe outdoor space for children. The property is offered chain free and is exempt from an EPC because of its listed status.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and repairs, and the part‑thatched roof brings higher maintenance and insurance considerations. The cottage’s historic character includes modest room sizes and lower ceiling heights in places; the frontage sits on the lane, giving good village presence but reduced privacy to the front.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character cottage in a well‑served village close to Saffron Walden: families who value private outside space and detached garaging, or buyers prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities. It also offers potential to improve or reconfigure subject to the necessary consents.
