Set in the sought-after village of Little Waltham, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines genuine 17th-century character with roomy living across nearly 1,934 sq ft. Exposed beams, an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner, and a farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room create a warm, lived-in feel ideal for quieter days at home or entertaining friends.
The house offers three good-sized bedrooms and a refitted first-floor bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and walk-in shower. Practical additions include a separate utility, a home office with power and light, garage parking, and a low-maintenance courtyard-style rear garden with two seating areas and a natural well.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed and thatched, so ongoing specialist upkeep and listing consents are likely required. The cottage sits on a relatively small plot, has a medium flood risk, single main bathroom, and the area records above-average crime and higher local council tax. Sold chain free, it will suit buyers prepared for conservation maintenance and occasional restrictions on alterations.
This home is best suited to downsizers or couples seeking a village base with period charm and good commuter links to Chelmsford and London. If you value character, history and a manageable, low-key garden over large outdoor space, this cottage offers a rare combination of size and authenticity in a popular countryside location.
