This historic Grade II Listed property, originally a trio of millers' cottages from circa 1640, is nestled in the desirable village of Little Baddow. The home maintains many original details, including delightful beamed ceilings and large open fireplaces that create an inviting atmosphere. Recently, the thatched roof was replaced and inspected in early 2024, ensuring immediate structural integrity. With ample potential for expansion (subject to planning permission), this property offers a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors looking to enhance its charm further.
The ground floor is currently laid out with three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area, a study, a bathroom, and a utility room. Its versatile layout offers the possibility of reconfiguring spaces to introduce additional bedrooms or modernize the living area. The upper level features three bedrooms accessed by two distinct staircases—an interesting architectural aspect that adds character.
Encircled by generous grounds, the cottage's gardens provide a serene retreat with varied flora and an established layout ideal for outdoor enjoyment. The sweeping gravel driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and includes a wooden garage/workshop that could be transformed into additional living space or creative workspace if desired.
The location is superb for those seeking both tranquility and accessibility to local amenities; Little Baddow boasts scenic woodlands and walking trails while remaining conveniently close to Danbury’s facilities. This property represents not just a home but also an investment into one of Essex's most cherished settings.
