Set in the historic heart of Thaxted, this Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage blends genuine period character with usable, well-proportioned living space. Two reception rooms and a contemporary kitchen give flexible ground-floor living; upstairs are two bedrooms and a stylish bathroom. The small courtyard garden provides private outdoor space without onerous upkeep. The home is freehold and sits in a very affluent, low-risk flood area with fast broadband and good local schools.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking a characterful starter home in a picturesque town. The loft offers realistic potential for added space (subject to planning), and the layout already supports comfortable day-to-day living. Practical advantages include Council Tax Band C and EPC exempt status due to listing.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing protects historic features and will restrict alterations, and any structural or decorative changes will require listed-building consent. The plot and garden are small, and there is one bathroom only, which may be limiting for some buyers. Buyers should factor in potential costs for maintenance or specialist repair work often associated with listed properties.
Overall this is a character-rich, well-located cottage offering a straightforward way into Thaxted’s market. It presents immediate liveability with scope to add value or space if you are prepared to work within listed-building constraints.
