This well-presented two-bedroom cottage sits on a quiet lane between Writtle village and Chelmsford, offering farmland views and direct countryside access. The ground floor has a large open-plan lounge and dining room with a feature log burner and original floorboards, while the modern fitted kitchen opens via French doors to a landscaped rear garden that links directly to open farmland. The house is offered with no onward chain and is newly renovated throughout.
The first-floor accommodation comprises two double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room; the principal bedroom enjoys clear views across open countryside. Practical upgrades include double glazing and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a boarded loft with loft ladder, and contemporary built-in bathroom fittings. Off-street parking is provided by a block-paved driveway and there are exterior lighting and power sockets around the plot.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler (private supply) with radiators, the property sits on a relatively small plot despite generous internal space, and the local area records above-average crime levels. Walls are described as cavity as built with no additional insulation assumed. These are important for running costs and potential retrofit works, despite the property’s recent renovation.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a rural-feel home within easy reach of Chelmsford’s amenities — good local schools, parkland walks, and convenient commuter links. It will particularly appeal to downsizers or buyers looking for scope to personalise further; the property is in good decorative order but offers sensible opportunities for energy upgrades or modest extension subject to planning.
