This distinctive three/four-bedroom detached cottage is situated on a generous 1.5-acre plot in the sought-after semi-rural locale of Rettendon Common. Nestled along a tranquil private road and surrounded by idyllic countryside, this property presents an outstanding opportunity for investment or renovation. The spacious grounds not only provide ample privacy but also hold significant potential for various enhancements.
The home's location offers the dual benefit of serene rural living while maintaining close proximity to essential transport links, including Battlesbridge Railway Station with direct services to London Liverpool Street and easy access to the A130 for road travel.
Upon entering, you are greeted by an inviting hall that leads to a multitude of living spaces. The kitchen, equipped with a large bay window, boasts considerable cupboard space and work surfaces, providing opportunities for modernisation or reconfiguration into a more open-plan layout.
The expansive lounge at 20’0 x 16’4 features a charming fireplace and views over the garden, serving as an ideal central hub for family gatherings. Adjacent is the dining room (13’1 x 12’0), which benefits from natural light streaming in through its own bay window.
A versatile study (16’7 x 10’11) could easily transform into additional living space or home office, while the utility room offers practicality and another area ripe for enhancement. Together, these areas can be combined to create a contemporary kitchen/dining/family area tailored to modern lifestyles.
Ascend to the first floor where you will find four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite W/C. The overall layout allows for flexible usage depending on your family's needs or future aspirations.
The external aspect is perhaps the property's most striking feature. With approximately 1.5 acres of wrap-around gardens complemented by two paddocks, there is remarkable scope for equestrian projects or creating self-contained accommodation (subject to necessary planning permissions). Additionally, substantial outbuildings provide extensive storage solutions or potential conversion projects.
This property stands out not only due to its existing character but also because of its promising renovation prospects in such a desirable area. It truly represents an exceptional canvas on which to design your forever home.
