This Grade II listed 17th-century cottage blends period character with practical modern updates, positioned just off Great Easton village green and overlooking the church. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and original parquet create immediate character, while a modern kitchen and bathroom make the home ready to live in. The property will appeal to buyers seeking village life and historical charm rather than a turnkey new build.
Accommodation is well-proportioned for an older cottage: a spacious open-plan living area with wood-burning stove, a flexible ground-floor double bedroom or study, and two further double bedrooms upstairs. Low ceilings and inherently smaller room sizes are typical of cottages this age and may not suit those seeking large, high-ceilinged spaces. There is a single family bathroom; families may find only one bathroom limiting.
The south‑west facing rear garden extends to around 75 feet with mature planting, paved patio and a large timber shed — a notable asset for outdoor enjoyment and storage. The timber-frame construction dates from before 1900 and is listed, so works to improve insulation or make structural alterations will require listed-building consent and may increase costs. Council tax is above average for the area.
Set in a lively village with a pub, Good-rated primary school and community events, the cottage is about 3 miles from Great Dunmow and enjoys fast broadband and low local crime. This home suits buyers who value historic character, village community and outdoor space, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities that come with a listed, older property.
