A deceptive period home with parking and garden.
Delightful C16 timber-framed three bedroom cottage with a cellar, occupying a central position within the village of Great Baddow. The property is grade II listed and provides fine period features including exposed timbers and open fireplaces and has been tastefully presented throughout. The downstairs has been upgraded with Herringbone flooring (evident in the dining room photo, bottom left).
The accommodation includes two ground floor reception rooms including a charming sitting room with vaulted ceiling and a deep red-brick inglenook fireplace. The sitting room is another comfortable room located to the left of the entrance lobby with stairs rising to the first floor. Both reception rooms offer shallow splayed bay windows. To the rear of the cottage is a study and a spacious inner lobby leading to the rear garden with a secondary staircase leading to the first floor. To the corner of the house is a well proportioned kitchen/breakfast room comprising light-coloured units, work surfaces and appliances. From here, a concealed hatch leads to a cellar, currently being used for storage. To the first floor two independent landings provide access to three bedrooms and a recently refurbished family bathroom. All of the bedrooms are doubles and see a continuation of the period features.
Outside
The garden extends from the rear of the cottage and is divided into two distinct areas. The initial part of the garden provides lawn and a brick-built storage shed with a covered veranda. There is an area of parking and a separate expanse of lawn to the eastern boundary.

This is a very individual and charming cottage with some wonderful period features. The accommodation is much greater than expected and the brick outbuilding offers great potential to be utilised as a home office.
