Set on a secluded cul-de-sac in highly sought-after Sawbridgeworth, this bay-fronted 1950 detached home occupies a generous 0.3-acre plot with large front and rear gardens and substantial off-street parking. The house has been carefully maintained by one family for c.40 years and retains original features such as oak parquet flooring and a working open fireplace, giving immediate character and warmth across its spacious reception rooms.
Five double bedrooms and three bathrooms provide comfortable family living, while an extremely large loft offers clear scope to convert to an additional bedroom(s) — the seller notes potential to create up to seven bedrooms. The well-equipped kitchen includes a Rayburn range, granite worktops and a walk-in larder; three useful outbuildings and a summerhouse increase storage and garden utility.
Practical details to note: the property sits in Council Tax Band F, broadband speeds are reported slow in the area, and parts of the garden are overgrown and will need routine attention. While the house is well maintained, the loft conversion, and any modernisation beyond the existing kitchen and bathrooms, will require investment and planning.
This home suits growing families who value space, original mid-century character and a private garden setting close to strong local schools and a mainline station. Chain-free possession and a rare market appearance make this a straight-forward purchase for buyers prepared to update and extend to realise full potential.
