Description

Victoria Cottage is a semi-detached period residence nestled in a well-established area, offering an outstanding opportunity for renovation and investment. While the home currently requires modern updates, it boasts spacious and well-proportioned living areas that can be transformed into a comfortable family dwelling. The entrance porch leads to a principal sitting room adorned with characteristic features like exposed beams, a rustic fireplace, and natural brick accents, creating an inviting atmosphere filled with light from windows on both the front and side. A ground floor cloakroom is conveniently situated off the inner hall. The separate dining room at the rear of the house benefits from glazed double doors that open into the expansive garden, while the kitchen provides ample storage options alongside essential appliances. This layout presents various possibilities to enhance functionality and aesthetics. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and a bathroom with a basic two-piece suite along with a separate WC. Outside, the property features an elevated position surrounded by an attractive front garden as well as off-street parking through a driveway leading to a single garage. The rear garden extends approximately 107ft in length, predominantly laid to lawn with potential for outdoor entertaining on the adjoining paved patio. Located in Arkesden, an esteemed village in North West Essex characterized by its blend of historic and contemporary properties amid stunning countryside views, this home offers proximity to local amenities including a church, village hall, public house – The Axe & Compass – and recreational spaces. Essential services are just 2 miles away in Clavering or further afield in Saffron Walden (7 miles), while Audley End railway station (3 miles) provides direct access to London Liverpool Street.
