Summary - 1 Mill Cottage, Mill Lane, Little Baddow CM3 4SB
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private plot with extensive parking and garden oasis.
Grade II listed cottage with extensive original period features
Set within around a third of an acre in sought-after Little Baddow, this Grade II listed thatched cottage dates from c.1640 and is offered with no onward chain. Recent investment includes a thatch replacement inspected in 2024; original beams, large open fireplaces and period details give the house considerable character and charm. The plot is private and well stocked, with terraces, a pond, greenhouse, pergola and sweeping gravel driveway providing extensive parking.
Accommodation is versatile for family life: three reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast, utility, downstairs bathroom and a study on the ground floor (which could be used as a bedroom if needed), plus three first-floor bedrooms accessed via two staircases. A wooden single garage/workshop with electric offers useful storage or conversion potential. There is scope to extend subject to planning permission (planning not yet granted).
Practical considerations are straightforward and important to note. The house is listed, so alterations will be restricted and require listed-building consent; solid brick walls are uninsulated (assumed) and will limit simple energy upgrades. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property suits buyers who value historic character and large private gardens and who are prepared to manage sensitive repairs and any formal planning process for alterations.
