Description

This two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage offers a wonderful opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with renovation potential. Originally designed as a one-bedroom home, the current layout has been adapted to create two bedrooms, with noticeable restrictions in head height due to its eaves. The interior features an open-plan living area enhanced by an exposed brick wall, while the kitchen/diner includes essential wall and base units along with a useful storage cupboard. The existing three-piece bathroom suite is functional but could benefit from modernisation. Additionally, there is a rear store room that presents conversion possibilities (subject to planning permission). Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized, one featuring built-in storage. Externally, the garden is primarily paved and enclosed by brick walls and wooden fencing, providing a blank canvas for landscaping or outdoor enhancements. Set within a desirable village community, this property is conveniently located near various amenities such as shops, restaurants, pubs, and recreational spaces. With good public transport links to Chelmsford City Centre and mainline services to London Liverpool Street, it combines rural charm with accessibility.
