This compact two-bedroom semi-detached home sits tucked off Ongar High Street and offers a convenient town-centre base with private off-street parking. The property has period-style features such as exposed floorboards and feature fireplaces, giving immediate character and cosy rooms across two storeys.
Accommodation is modest but practical: ground-floor living room and kitchen/diner, with two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom. External space is limited to a small paved courtyard and driveway accessed from the High Street; the plot is small and lateral extension will be constrained by neighbouring buildings. The listing notes a period-cottage appearance while the record indicates a 2023 construction date, so buyers should check age and construction details if these matter to them.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and easy access to local shops, schools, and amenities. Notable drawbacks are the compact internal floor area, constrained outdoor amenity and shared access arrangements to the driveway. The property appears tidy externally but internal modernisation or targeted upgrades could add value for owner-occupiers or lettings. Prospective buyers should also note an above-average local crime statistic and check services, legal boundaries and any shared-access arrangements before purchase.
