Description

Positioned in a tranquil cul-de-sac within the historic market town of Thaxted, this substantial four-bedroom detached home presents an opportunity for renovation and customization. While the property requires modernization, its generous layout and classic features offer a solid foundation for transformative updates. The ground floor encompasses a variety of living spaces, including a lounge with a feature fireplace that opens to a conservatory overlooking the rear garden. Adjacent to the lounge is a dining room with sliding doors leading outside, as well as a versatile study that could serve as a home office or playroom. The kitchen/breakfast room, while spacious, provides ample opportunity for redesign to suit contemporary tastes. A convenient cloakroom is also located on this level. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, enhancing its appeal for family living. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for various needs, whether for children, guests, or conversion into hobby rooms. A family bathroom completes the first floor. Externally, both front and rear gardens offer potential for landscaping improvements or outdoor entertaining spaces. The rear garden features mature trees and shrubs that could be retained or enhanced with new plantings. Side access through a timber gate leads to the detached single garage and driveway parking, ensuring practical convenience. The location itself adds value; Thaxted is rich in historical charm and offers essential amenities such as shops, restaurants, and public houses. Noteworthy landmarks like the Guild Hall and Thaxted Parish Church contribute to the town's character. With excellent transport links to Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow just minutes away, this property represents not only a place to call home but also an investment opportunity in an area poised for growth.
