Description

This end-terrace cottage, nestled in a charming village in north Essex, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. With no ongoing chain, the property is ready for its next owner to transform it into a modern living space while retaining its period character. The layout includes a kitchen, shower room, and both lounge and dining areas on the ground floor. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms that offer ample potential for reconfiguration or refurbishment. The property benefits from gas central heating and boasts off-road parking along with a generous plot of approximately 0.14 acres, providing scope for extension subject to local planning permissions. Situated in Gosfield, this delightful village offers essential amenities including a general store, public house, primary school, and private educational options. Recreational opportunities abound with a nearby golf course and the scenic Gosfield Lake. For more extensive shopping needs or commuting options, the market town of Halstead is just minutes away by car, while Braintree’s railway station—with services to London Liverpool Street—is about a 15-minute drive. The property is set back from the road among similar homes and features gardens on three sides, further enhancing its investment potential. This cottage invites buyers looking to create their own ideal space in a desirable location with strong community ties and easy access to urban conveniences.
