THE CROFT, a property with familial ties since around 1950, is ripe for redevelopment and modernization after years of neglect. Originally part of the Warish Hall Estate, this structure was a timber-framed cottage as noted in a 1921 auction catalogue. It was listed in 1978 but has since been de-listed, providing prospective owners with enhanced possibilities for expansion and improvement. The house underwent re-modelling in the 1970s, which included the replacement of weather boarding with pargetted render.
The accommodation spans two floors featuring an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, family room, kitchen, and a ground floor shower room. Upstairs contains three bedrooms along with a family bathroom and an additional space that can serve as a dressing room or occasional fourth bedroom. The current condition might pose challenges for securing mortgage financing, further emphasizing the opportunity for investors to transform this property into something special.
Set in Smiths Green, just half a mile from Takeley village and about four miles from Bishop's Stortford, it benefits from nearby amenities including shops, schools, and recreational facilities. Additionally, good transport links via the M11 motorway enhance its appeal as a commuter location.
