Description

This end-of-terrace cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors looking to unlock the potential of a charming property in a desirable location. Nestled within a community that boasts convenient access to local amenities, including diverse dining options, shops, a library, Post Office, pubs, and the picturesque village green featuring a historic church, this home is well-positioned for both comfort and convenience. A reliable bus service connects residents to Chelmsford City Centre, which offers mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street. The cottage currently features two bedrooms, created by the current owner from what was originally a single-bedroom layout. While the interior reflects its period charm, it is in need of modernization, offering a blank canvas for those looking to customize their living space. The cozy living room flows into an open-plan kitchen area with a lobby leading to a ground-floor bathroom—ideal for optimizing the existing layout or reimagining the flow of the home. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms, one of which is positioned under eaves that may require strategic design considerations for added height or storage solutions. Outside, the garden space provides an inviting retreat for relaxation or social gatherings, further enhancing the property’s appeal. With its characterful features and potential for transformation, this cottage offers investors or homeowners alike an excellent opportunity to create a bespoke residence tailored to contemporary tastes while maintaining its historic charm.
