Archers Cottage is a spacious five-bedroom detached house set in the peaceful village of High Easter, ideal for families seeking countryside living with good commuter links. The property dates from the 19th century and has been sympathetically extended to provide versatile living spaces, including a lounge with wood burner, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and a ground-floor TV/games room that was formerly part of the garage.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from a large dressing area and a substantial ensuite with a double shower, alongside four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house sits on a large plot with a south-facing rear garden that backs directly onto open fields, providing privacy and rural outlooks. A gated access to the fields makes the garden particularly appealing for children, dogs and outdoor hobbies.
Practical features include an integral garage with driveway parking, double glazing installed post-2002, fast broadband and no onward chain for a quicker sale. The village offers countryside footpaths, good road links to Chelmsford and Stansted, and nearby schools rated Good or better, making the location family-friendly.
Buyers should note the house’s historic construction: solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the property is heated by an oil boiler, which may mean higher running costs and potential retrofit work if improved thermal performance is desired. Council tax is above average. Overall this is a characterful rural home with generous space and clear potential for modernisation where wanted.
