This Grade II listed property, Woodlands, is a charming 16th century timber-framed cottage that has seen modifications in the 20th century. Nestled away from the road, the home benefits from a long driveway and gated entrance, adding to its appeal. The estate encompasses nearly six acres of wooded land, featuring various old barns and structures that provide significant renovation opportunities.
While the cottage is in need of substantial refurbishment, it presents an exciting project for cash buyers looking to invest in a historical property with immense potential. Due to its current condition, it’s important to note that financing options may be limited; therefore, this property is available for cash purchasers only. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own research regarding any planning or development prospects with the local council.
Situated in a semi-rural area, Woodlands is ideally located between the picturesque market towns of Ongar and Brentwood. Local amenities include a convenience store and a pub within the village itself, while Chipping Ongar offers a wider selection of shops including Sainsbury’s and various banks and restaurants. Brentwood further enhances local offerings with more extensive shopping and recreational facilities.
This location also boasts excellent educational options nearby, including renowned institutions such as Brentwood School, King Edward Grammar School, Chelmsford County High School for Girls, New Hall, Felsted School, and St. Nicholas School at Old Harlow.
For commuters, there are convenient transport links with mainline stations at Shenfield and Brentwood providing access to London via both regular services and the Elizabeth Line. Additionally, road connections to the M25 and M11 offer further commuting ease.
This unique property not only provides a glimpse into history but also stands as an excellent investment opportunity for those prepared to restore it to its former glory while enjoying the benefits of its idyllic setting.
