Set on a generous plot in peaceful Ashdon, this substantial seven-bedroom detached cottage offers flexible family living and uninterrupted countryside views. Ground-floor living includes multiple reception rooms, a conservatory overlooking the garden, a kitchen with adjoining breakfast/study area, utility and cloakroom — practical for everyday family routines.
Outdoor space is a clear strength: a large, level rear garden, patio and an organic vegetable area provide room for children, pets and entertaining. A detached garage, gravel driveway with at least two off-street spaces and a sizable outbuilding (currently a gym) add useful storage or home-working/annexe potential (subject to planning).
Important practical points: the house is an older build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, heated by an oil-fired boiler and rated EPC D. These factors mean improvement work — insulation, heating upgrades and general redecoration — should be factored into budgets. The property sits in a hamlet location with medium flood risk; buyers should obtain specialist advice and insurance quotes.
Local amenities and schools are nearby and highly regarded, while Saffron Walden offers wider services and commuter links. For a growing or multi-generational family seeking space, privacy and rural character, this home offers strong potential once energy and maintenance updates are addressed.
