Hill Cottage is a beautifully presented two-bedroom thatched cottage combining historic character with recent renovation. The current owner has refurbished the interior throughout, retaining period features such as exposed beams while introducing contemporary fittings, a fitted kitchen, utility room and a bathroom with roll-top bath. The cottage footprint is compact (c.831 sqft) but well laid out across multiple levels, offering cosy reception rooms including a snug and dining area.
Externally the property benefits from a well-tended traditional English garden, side access and off-street parking on a decent plot. Set in the hamlet of Blackmore End within an affluent, prospering countryside area, the home sits close to footpaths and rural amenities while Braintree’s shops, schools and rail link to London remain within reach.
Practical points to note: the thatched roof and period fabric demand specialist maintenance and associated costs. Accommodation is modest with one bathroom and small rooms by modern standards, so buyers seeking larger family living or wheelchair access should consider this. Overall, the cottage will suit buyers looking for a charming, low-crime rural retreat who accept the upkeep needs of a period thatched home.
