Lupin Cottage is a charming two-bedroom semi-detached home in Takeley, offered chain free and ready for a first move. The house sits on a decent plot with a large private rear garden, decked area, patio and summer house — ideal for outdoor entertaining and family space. Driveway parking at the front adds everyday convenience.
Inside, the home offers a spacious kitchen/diner with adjoining utility/larder, a comfortable living room and two double bedrooms. There’s a stylish four-piece bathroom with a separate bath and shower, and recent upgrades include new carpets, flooring and blinds fitted in May 2025. The property benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing and an average overall size of about 813 sq ft.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is freehold, has low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It’s close to Stansted Airport and the M11 (specifically noted as not being in the flight path), and local schools have strong Ofsted ratings — a helpful draw for young families.
This is a period property with character and scope for improvement. The home’s timber-frame construction is noted as originally built before 1900 and assumed to have no added wall insulation; buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. Overall this is an attractive, affordable opportunity for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a character cottage near good commuter links, provided they accept some likely retrofit work to improve insulation and energy performance.
