Description

This distinguished 5 double bedroom detached family residence, encompassing approximately 2180 sq ft, is a rare find in the peaceful cul-de-sac of Sawbridgeworth. Constructed in the 1950s by esteemed builders Helmer and Dyer, this property has been cherished by its family owners for nearly four decades. While it boasts character and space, there are considerable opportunities for refurbishment and expansion. The layout allows for the conversion of the expansive loft into an additional double bedroom, which could significantly enhance its value. Located on Brookfields—often cited as one of Sawbridgeworth's premier streets—this home offers an excellent setting with a blend of tranquility and accessibility to local amenities and transport links to London and Cambridge. Inside, you'll discover original features such as parquet oak flooring in the entrance hall and lounge, adding to its charm. The kitchen is equipped with a modern Rayburn Cooking Range and integrated appliances, yet presents opportunities for updates to suit contemporary tastes. The generous dining room provides ample space for gatherings, while versatile office space with a second staircase opens avenues for further development. The property is set on a substantial plot with well-maintained gardens and practical outbuildings that could be reimagined for additional utility or leisure space. This home represents not just a dwelling but an investment opportunity in a highly desirable locale with potential for significant enhancement.
