Description

Presenting a unique opportunity to acquire two adjoining cottages, The Thatch and Pages, which are currently registered under separate titles yet being sold together. These properties, set on over a quarter of an acre in Widdington, are primed for renovation and enhancement. The Thatch is a Grade II Listed one-bedroom cottage that boasts traditional character with its period features, complemented by a newly installed thatched roof. Inside, it offers two bedrooms, a cozy lounge, kitchen space, and a detached garage – making it a charming prospect for restoration. Pages is a two-bedroom extended cottage that further diversifies your options. Whether you choose to keep it as an independent residence, use it as guest accommodation, or merge the spaces (subject to permissions), there’s significant potential here. Together, these properties provide a compelling chance to create a single expansive country home or retain them as individual dwellings while maximizing their investment value. Located in the picturesque village of Widdington in north-west Essex — recognized for its beautiful countryside and strong community — this property not only offers tranquility but also convenient access to nearby towns such as Saffron Walden and Newport. Additionally, mainline rail links and proximity to Stansted Airport make it suitable for commuters seeking both charm and connectivity.
