About
The house...
In the peaceful hamlet of Cutlers Green, Wild Wood Cottage is a splendid Grade ii-listed detached thatched home whose character has been carefully preserved while the accommodation has evolved for modern family life.
Originally two cottages, it now offers generous, welcoming spaces within its distinctive and charming period Façade. Exposed timbers and period detailing lend warmth throughout.
The substantial sitting room centres on a magnificent inglenook fireplace and open fire; a second generous reception room brings together dining and relaxed seating around another open fireplace.
These are rooms equally suited to quiet evenings and a house full of family and friends. The beautifully appointed kitchen and breakfast room is the modern heart of the cottage.
At around 25 feet long, with a large central island and integrated appliances, it offers ample space to cook, gather and enjoy everyday life.
Beyond it, a light filled conservatory looks out across the garden.
Upstairs, two staircases add to the home’s individuality and lead to four double bedrooms, including two with contemporary en-suite facilities. The grounds...
The grounds are every bit as inviting as the cottage itself. Lawns, mature trees and established planting frame generous gardens to the front and rear, creating a lovely feeling of space and privacy.
A patio and dedicated outdoor entertaining area provide a wonderful setting for long summer lunches, celebrations and larger gatherings with family and friends.
A gravelled driveway offers ample parking, while the substantial outbuilding is currently arranged as a large garage with an adjoining studio/additional room.
It provides valuable space for home working, hobbies or creative pursuits and offers the opportunity to explore a future annexe, subject to the necessary consents. The location...
Cutlers Green offers the pleasure of rural North Essex living, Countryside on the doorstep, room to breathe and the historic and medieval town of Thaxted close by.
Thaxted’s medieval streets, independent shops, pubs and infrastructure bring everyday amenities and local character within convenient reach.
The larger market towns of Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow add further shopping, dining and services.
For those balancing country life with work or travel, the wider road and rail network provide connections to the cities of Cambridge, London and Chelmsford, with mainline rail options within reach.
Stansted Airport is well placed for business journeys and holidays alike. Wild Wood Cottage brings these worlds together beautifully.
