Description

Nestled on the outskirts of the picturesque North Essex village of Debden, 56 Wash Cottages is a delightful Grade II listed thatched home that blends period charm with modern family living. Extending to approximately 1,767 sq ft across three floors, this four-bedroom cottage offers versatile accommodation and enjoys a generous garden plot with open countryside views.

The ground floor strikes the perfect balance between character and contemporary style. A welcoming sitting room showcases exposed timbers and a feature brick fireplace, creating a warm and inviting retreat. The modern kitchen/dining room forms the hub of the home, fitted with sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances, complemented by a roof lantern and bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace. A second reception/dining room provides additional space for family or entertaining, while a stylish shower room completes the level.

On the first floor, three bedrooms are arranged around the landing. The principal bedroom is notably spacious, featuring original beams, while two additional rooms provide flexibility for family use or as a home office. These rooms were previously part of a larger room, allowing them to be rejoined into one large bedroom if desired. A bright family bathroom with both a bath and a shower serves this floor.

The top floor adds further versatility, featuring a generous fourth bedroom and an adjoining sitting room, ideal for a guest suite, teenager’s den, or creative studio.

Outside, the property is set within wrap-around gardens laid mainly to lawn, with mature borders and a brick-paved terrace for outdoor dining. A timber garage, storage shed, and driveway parking enhance the practicality of the home.
