Description

This charming detached cottage, believed to date back to the 19th century, presents a unique opportunity for renovation or development. Nestled on a generous quarter-acre plot, the property offers scenic farmland views and enjoys a level of privacy with no immediate neighbors—a rare find in this tranquil setting. Located just five minutes by car from the quaint village of Danbury and approximately 18 minutes from Chelmsford city center, this property combines rural living with convenient access to urban amenities. The peaceful village of Woodham Mortimer is nearby, offering local attractions such as the Woodham Mortimer golf range and 'The Hurdlemakers Arms' public house. With proximity to larger towns like Maldon and fast transport links to London via Chelmsford’s mainline railway station, this location is well-suited for those seeking both tranquility and accessibility. While the cottage currently requires significant refurbishment and does not have recent planning permission, there is notable potential for expansion or redevelopment into a larger residence, subject to local planning regulations. This makes it an attractive investment for buyers looking to create their ideal home or capitalize on future property value growth in this desirable area. Inside, the accommodation comprises a lounge/diner that spans approximately 24 feet in length, offering ample space for relaxation or entertaining. The kitchen/diner is also generously sized at around 21 feet long, providing plenty of room for customization. The single bedroom and bathroom complete the living space but present opportunities for reconfiguration based on your vision for the property. Additionally, there’s a double carport along with an office area that can serve various functions—ideal for home working or storage solutions. To fully appreciate the potential this property offers, viewing is highly recommended. Whether you're considering a permanent residence or an investment project, this cottage represents a compelling proposition in a picturesque setting.
