Originally dating to the 1700s, this detached character cottage on Cromwell Lane sits within Maldon’s Central Conservation area, a short walk from the high street and quayside. The house retains period features — exposed beams, stripped floorboards and a brick fireplace — and offers a comfortable kitchen/diner, lounge and a light conservatory opening onto a large rear garden.
The layout is compact (approximately 608 sq ft) and most suited to a couple or downsizer seeking character and proximity to town amenities. Two first-floor bedrooms and a modern shower room sit above, with fitted storage and loft access. The rear garden has defined patio and lawn areas, a brick store with power and broadband, plus a wild border of shrubs and trees.
Practical points to note: the property is small in overall size, and the allocated parking space is opposite the house rather than on the plot. Being in a conservation area and of historic construction may mean higher maintenance and repair costs; buyers should allow for potential specialist works. There is no flood risk and the area is affluent with good local services, fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
This cottage offers period charm and central convenience for someone who values character and a generous garden over large living spaces. It will appeal to downsizers or buyers looking for a cosy, low-traffic location close to Maldon’s shops and riverside.
