Description

Nestled in the highly sought-after village of Great Totham, this charming three-bedroom character cottage presents a rare opportunity for discerning buyers. With its origins dating back to the early 1900s, this property exudes a timeless appeal, perfectly blending historical character with modern living potential. Offered with the significant advantage of no onward chain, this home is poised for a smooth and swift transaction, making it an ideal choice for those eager to settle into village life without delay.

Upon arrival, the property immediately impresses with its enviable position, directly overlooking the picturesque village green. The exterior hints at the warmth and character found within, inviting you to explore further.

Step inside to discover a thoughtfully laid-out ground floor designed for comfortable living and entertaining. The dual-aspect living room is a true highlight, bathed in natural light and offering ample space for relaxation, making it the heart of the home. Its generous proportions allow for versatile furniture arrangements, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both quiet evenings and social gatherings. Adjacent to this, the separate dining room provides an ideal setting for formal meals or could easily be reimagined as a cosy snug or a dedicated home office, catering to contemporary needs.

The fitted kitchen is perfectly serviceable as is, but presents an exciting opportunity for enhancement. Imagine the potential to open this space to the dining room, creating a magnificent open-plan kitchen/diner – a highly desirable feature in today's market. This transformation would not only enhance the flow of the ground floor but also create a vibrant hub for family life and entertaining.

A convenient ground floor WC adds to the practicality of the lower level, a valuable asset for any busy household.

Ascending to the first floor, you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering a comfortable retreat. The master bedroom is a particular standout, benefiting from an en-suite shower room, providing a private sanctuary for the homeowners. This master suite also boasts built-in wardrobes, offering excellent storage solutions. The remaining two bedrooms are well-served by a separate first-floor family bathroom, ensuring ample facilities for all residents and guests.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The secluded rear garden offers a private space, perfect for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply unwinding. This charming outdoor space is further enhanced by the presence of a dedicated utility room and a separate store, both of which benefit from central heating – a practical and valuable addition, offering versatile space for laundry, hobbies, or additional storage. The property also boasts the rare advantage of two separate driveways, providing off-road parking. Complementing this is a private garage, offering secure parking or additional storage.

For those with an eye for future potential, this property truly shines. There is significant scope to extend to the right-hand side, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. This offers an exciting opportunity to substantially increase the living space, perhaps adding further bedrooms, an expanded kitchen, or additional reception room, tailoring the home precisely to your evolving needs and preferences. This potential for growth makes the property an excellent long-term investment.

Great Totham is a highly desirable Essex village, renowned for its strong community spirit and picturesque surroundings. Residents benefit from excellent local amenities, including popular pubs, a village shop, and a highly regarded primary school, all contributing to a vibrant and family-friendly atmosphere.
