Hawkswood Road, Downham, CM11 1JT

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds, with a semi-detached cottage that ticks all the boxes for rural charm, easy access to excellent local amenities and fast commuter transport into central London.

Offering freehold tenure, the cottage is situated on Hawkswood Road, down a small private access road between Downham and Ramsden Heath, and is just a short drive into Wickford, with a direct line into Liverpool street.

Recently reduced in price to allow a new owner the option to extend or modernise to suit their own personal style, the house is also ready for occupation during any desired alterations, and has indeed been a very happy home just the way it is.

Internally, the ground floor hosts two good-sized, light and airy reception rooms, hallway with useful pantry storage, family shower room, and traditional small country kitchen, equipped with a Bosch fridge freezer, Miele washing machine, fully working oven unit with grill and hob.

The first floor has two good sized double bedrooms and one single, all accessed from a sunny landing. Double-glazed windows throughout.

Externally the property benefits from a good-sized corner plot, with potential to extend and/or further improve the property by adding on-site parking if desired, to be easily accessed from the quiet private road shared with only two other properties.

There is currently substantial garden storage with multiple sheds and a brick built structure.

The location makes this cottage special, being within reach of beautiful parks and green spaces, including Hanningfield Reservoir, whose resident geese regularly fly overhead.

It is not every day that a unique property like this comes to market, and we recommend viewing as the price has been reduced to allow a new owner more flexibility to make any changes they may wish to undertake, to create their own ideal home, and an excellent investment property.
