About this property

  • Tudor Cottage is an exceptional Grade II listed home, offering stunning views over the grounds towards the historic Felsted School. Originally built in the late 16th century, with 17th century extensions and later modifications, this period property is filled with charm and character throughout.

    Spanning nearly 2,800 sq ft, the home features numerous period details, including exposed beams, original flooring and open fireplaces. The property offers five first-floor bedrooms and well-proportioned reception rooms on the ground floor. The south-facing garden is beautifully established, with a variety of shrubs and trees, and benefits from its own private driveway and a double-length garage.

    The home can be entered either from the front or the side, through a boot room or an entrance hall. At the heart of the property is a stunning Neptune kitchen/breakfast room, complete with a central marble-topped island, high-quality fitted units and premium appliances, including a Neff fridge/freezer, Rangemaster and Fisher & Paykel double drawer dishwasher.

    Adjacent to the kitchen is a contemporary dining room, a recent extension that seamlessly blends with the home's historic character, featuring antique solid oak flooring and French doors opening onto the rear garden. The boot room, which also provides access to the garden, offers ample space for storage and appliances.

    The drawing room features a large inglenook fireplace with a log burner and oak bressumer. This leads to a second sitting room, equally full of character, with brick flooring and another inglenook fireplace. A garden room adjoins the sitting room, adding to the living space. Additionally, there is an office/snug and a cloakroom on the ground floor.

    On the first floor, you'll find four generously sized double bedrooms, along with beautifully finished bath and shower rooms. A spiral staircase leads to the second floor, where a fifth double bedroom and a spacious loft area provide further potential for expansion.

    Outside
    The property occupies a prominent position and is approached via a 5-bar gate, leading to a block-paved driveway and providing access to a double-length garage. Beyond, you'll find the beautifully established and private rear garden. These meticulously landscaped gardens feature expansive lawns, mature shrubs, trees and well-tended flower beds. A tiled al fresco dining and BBQ area, along with a fully insulated and heated summerhouse equipped with power and lighting, offers an ideal space for entertaining. With an additional patio and seating area, the garden is fully enclosed.

This is a beautiful cottage. I love its position within the village being close enough to the centre, and the views towards Felsted school make it very special.
