This semi-detached cottage, dating back to the early 20th century, presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. With three bedrooms and a thoughtful layout, the property serves as a blank slate for anyone looking to create their ideal country home. The generous garden plot, approximately 1/6th of an acre with a length of around 47.5 meters (155 feet), offers ample space for landscaping or potential extensions.
Nestled in Epping Upland, the home is surrounded by picturesque rolling countryside and is located about one mile down a lane that provides access primarily to other farms and cottages. This rural setting ensures a peaceful lifestyle while maintaining proximity to urban amenities; Epping town center is roughly 3.5 miles away, featuring shops and restaurants along with its Central Line Station just around four miles from the cottage.
Inside, the property features a welcoming entrance hall leading to a well-proportioned living room measuring 13'1" by 13'0". The kitchen, sized at 13'1" by 7'5", includes a pantry and offers potential for modern upgrades. A lean-to structure adjoins the kitchen, which can be renovated into additional living space or utilized for storage.
Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms: the largest measuring 13'0" by 9'7", followed by two smaller rooms measuring 10'10" by 8'6" and 7'6" by 7'5". Each bedroom provides natural light and various options for customization according to personal taste.
The exterior features grassed gardens at the front, side, and rear of the property. The rear garden hosts original timber-built stores that require some repair work alongside a practical corrugated metal workshop/garage measuring approximately 13'5" by 24'3". Furthermore, there is a right of way over the lower section of the private driveway leading to this area, enhancing accessibility.
In terms of utilities, mains electricity and water services are connected while drainage relies on a septic tank system. Although these systems have not been tested recently, they represent standard services typical in rural properties.
This cottage not only stands within the Priority Admissions Area for both Epping Upland CofE School and Epping St John's Senior School but also holds considerable investment value given its location and renovation potential. With vacant possession available upon completion, this property invites those ready to embark on their next project amidst tranquil surroundings.
