Lawford, Essex

An exceptionally unique and well presented two bedroom end of terrace cottage, occupying an attractive position on Wignall Street within the highly regarded parish and hamlet of Old Lawford, on the edge of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Not having been offered to the market for over 30 years, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming period home in a particularly desirable setting. Enjoying unlisted status, the cottage has been subject to a comprehensive programme of improvement and enhancement during the current ownership.

Constructed of brick beneath a slate roofline, the property offers approximately 560 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation over two floors. The charming porch provides an excellent entry to the welcoming sitting room that features an open fire with stone carved fireplace mantel, original beams and Georgian sash windows to the front elevation, combining warmth and character in equal measure. A 16th century pine door retaining historic character leads through to a fitted kitchen, again showcasing exposed timbers, with a delightful garden room beyond. This light-filled space enjoys a glazed surround on three sides and provides an attractive outlook over the south facing garden.

To the first floor, two charming bedrooms are arranged off a central landing, where a stained glass window sits above the door to bedroom two. The principal bedroom benefits from a Georgian sash window to the front elevation.

A centrally positioned family bathroom is fitted with a freestanding claw-foot bath, in keeping with the period nature of the home.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the property has benefited from a number of practical improvements including a complete re-roof in 2019, a repointed chimney and full loft insulation to a high specification.

Externally, the cottage enjoys a private south facing garden with an external shed, store and amenity space, accessed via a right of way over neighbouring property, together with water supply/tap and off road parking for a single vehicle.

Lawford is a highly regarded parish offering a blend of village charm and everyday convenience. The property is ideally positioned for access to local amenities, schooling and recreational facilities, whilst Manningtree mainline railway station lies within easy reach, providing direct commuter links to London Liverpool Street.

This accessibility makes the property particularly appealing to those seeking a balance between rural living and connectivity.

The surrounding area is defined by its attractive countryside, with the Dedham Vale AONB and Stour Estuary offering an abundance of scenic walking routes, sailing and outdoor pursuits. Nearby Manningtree provides a range of independent shops, cafés and essential services.

The combination of character accommodation, modern enhancements, private outdoor space and excellent commuter links ensures the property will generate strong interest from a wide range of prospective purchasers.
