Summary - RIVERSIDE DUCK END FINCHINGFIELD BRAINTREE CM7 4ND
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Charming Grade II thatched cottage with four bedrooms, large garden and garage in Finchingfield.
Grade II Listed thatched cottage with strong period character
This Grade II Listed thatched cottage sits in the heart of Finchingfield on a generous 0.2-acre plot, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms and well-proportioned living space across two storeys. Period features such as exposed beams, feature fireplaces and a thatched roof give the house strong character and a warm, village-cottage feel — ideal for families wanting rural charm with practical outdoor space. The property is freehold and includes a large block-paved driveway and a garage, providing secure off-street parking and useful storage.
The secluded rear garden is a major asset: predominantly lawned with a paved terrace and mature hedges and trees providing privacy for children and outdoor entertaining. Internally the kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and snug create a flexible family layout; there is also useful pantry and understairs storage. Nearby primary schools have good Ofsted ratings and the village offers local amenities such as a shop, pub and bus connections, supporting everyday family life.
Buyers should note material constraints: Grade II listed status will limit alterations and may complicate extensions or major internal changes. The property is in a medium flood-risk area, so prospective purchasers should seek specialist advice and insurance quotes. Broadband speeds are reported as slow despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is above average for the area.
This home will suit a family who values period character, a private garden and village living, and who are comfortable managing a listed building’s maintenance and consent requirements. There is clear potential to modernise sympathetically while preserving the cottage’s historic features.
