Description

If I could describe myself, I would say I am a charming detached character cottage, affectionately known by all as the Old Thatched Cottage. Located in the heart of Marks Tey and parts of me reportedly date back to the 1570's.
I'm far larger than I first appear from the outside, I offer a generous amount of internal accommodation with three/four bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms, providing ample space for family living or hosting guests.

I am brimming with original character features and my partial thatched roof adds to the true countryside cottage feel that makes me so special. My location is equally appealing, with excellent commuter links via Marks Tey rail station offering direct services into London, and the A12 and A120 close by for travel across Essex and further afield. For those who travel frequently, Stansted Airport is easily reached along the A120, while Colchester City Centre is only a short drive or bus journey away, providing a wide choice of shopping, leisure facilities and employment opportunities.

Lovingly cared for throughout my long history, I am now ready to welcome new owners who will continue my story, cherish my character, and create many happy memories within my walls.
