Set on a generous quarter-acre plot in the heart of White Notley, this Grade II listed cottage combines original character with flexible family living across three floors. The property delivers multiple reception rooms, a 23' conservatory and five/six double bedrooms, useful for growing families or home working. The rear garden is extensive and unoverlooked, backing onto open countryside with a wide patio and mature lawns for outdoor play and entertaining.
Practical strengths include an electric gated driveway, detached cartlodge and parking for several vehicles, plus a substantial timber outbuilding with power and high ceilings offering genuine annex or studio conversion potential (subject to consents). Internally you’ll find traditional features throughout — inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and flagstone details — alongside a functional kitchen, utility and ground-floor cloakroom.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed so alterations will need listed building consent and may limit modernisation options. Council Tax is in Band F and the property is presented with some period maintenance needs that a buyer should budget for. The vendor is selling with no onward chain which can speed completion, but buyers should factor specialist survey and listed-property advice into their costs.
This home will suit a family seeking a character-filled village house with room to adapt and generous private gardens, or buyers wanting an income/annex opportunity from the outbuilding. Good local schools, low crime and direct rail links nearby add practical appeal for everyday life and commuting.
