Spacious period home with annexe and potential to extend (stpp).
Far-reaching open countryside views
Set on the outskirts of Brentwood, this late 1700s semi-detached cottage combines genuine period character with generous outdoor space and far-reaching countryside views. The house includes two formal reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/family room and an ancillary annexe with a bedroom and bathroom — useful for guests or multi-generational living. Driveway parking sits to the side and the plot is notably large, offering scope for landscaping or outdoor living.
The property presents clear potential to increase living space: there is scope for a double-storey side extension subject to planning permission. Many original features remain, which will appeal to buyers who value character. The overall footprint is extremely large for the area (approximately 1,346 sq ft) and the home is offered with no onward chain, helping to simplify purchase timing.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations: the building is of solid brick construction typical of its age and likely lacks modern wall insulation, so thermals and energy performance may need upgrading. Council Tax is Band E, which is above average, and local crime levels are reported as high. Any extension would require planning approval — not guaranteed — and some rooms will benefit from updating to meet contemporary standards.
This is a good option for families or buyers seeking a character home with expansion potential in a semi-rural setting, prepared to invest in energy and cosmetic improvements to unlock full value.
