Summary - 1 DUCK LANE THORNWOOD EPPING CM16 6NE
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Large character cottage near open countryside with garage, studio and gated parking.
Approximately 2,290 sq ft of living space
A substantial Grade II listed detached cottage in Thornwood Common, this three-bedroom home blends strong period character with generous living space (approx. 2,290 sq ft). Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and leadlight windows create authentic charm; the large living/dining room and separate day room suit family life and entertaining. The plot includes gated parking for two to three vehicles and a detached double garage with a first-floor studio/office.
The accommodation is practical for a growing household: a country kitchen with breakfast room, ground-floor shower room and a large master suite with an ensuite jacuzzi bathroom. There is clear scope to create a detached annexe (subject to planning) or reconfigure space to meet modern living needs. Broadband and mobile signals are strong for home-working.
Important practical points: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate works and consents. Flood risk in the area is high — consider insurance and flood-mitigation measures. Some elements show age: double glazing predates 2002 and parts of the fabric may require updating. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
This is a good fit for buyers who value character, countryside access and space over turnkey finish. If you want authentic period detail, room to adapt and gated parking with a large garage/studio, this Thornwood cottage offers rare scale and location close to open farmland and Epping transport links.
