About
Set on the ever-popular Braintree side of town, this beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage offers a wonderful blend of period charm, modern comfort, and practicality.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll appreciate the home’s welcoming feel, bright spaces, and thoughtful layout designed for easy everyday living.
The ground floor features a semi open-plan design, creating a natural flow between the reception rooms.
The lounge sits to the front of the property and is centred around a charming log burner, perfect for cosy evenings.
Moving through, the dining area provides a versatile space ideal for entertaining family and friends.
To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with ample storage and worktop space, and includes a cupboard housing plumbing for a former W.C., offering the potential to easily reinstate a downstairs cloakroom or utility room if desired.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two generous double bedrooms, both offering plenty of natural light and comfortable proportions.
A well-appointed 4 piece suite completes the first-floor accommodation.
Externally, the home enjoys a hardstanding front garden large enough to accommodate a small car, while the private rear garden provides an inviting space to relax and unwind, with plenty of potential for planting, seating, or outdoor dining, alongside a lovely summerhouse/outbuilding which could be utilised as a home office.
This delightful cottage is offered to the market with no onward chain, making it an ideal choice for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors alike.
Combining character features with a convenient location, it’s a home ready to move straight into and enjoy. Halstead is a pretty traditional market town 7 miles north of Braintree.
The town has a wealth of shops, restaurants, cafes and interesting walks.
With a population of over 11,000 Halstead has grown steadily and schools are of a high standard and the town boasts local health facilities including a hospital and medical centre.
