Description
No Onward Chain **Video Tour Available**
We are delighted to offer for sale this extremely well presented three-bedroom, Grade II listed part-thatched cottage, ideally situated in the highly sought-after village of Great Leighs.
Great Leighs enjoys a convenient position between Chelmsford and Braintree, offering a range of amenities within walking distance, including a village hall with playing fields and playground, two well-regarded pubs/restaurants, and a village shop with post office. The popular primary school is also close by, with a selection of well-regarded secondary schools accessible via school or public transport. Both Chelmsford and Braintree are easily reached by road or public transport, while the A120—just four miles away—provides excellent access to Colchester and Stansted Airport.
Dating back to the 17th century, the cottage has been thoughtfully and sympathetically updated by the current owners, seamlessly blending period charm with modern convenience. Character features such as exposed beams and brickwork are showcased throughout, enhancing the home’s warmth and appeal.
The ground floor offers a versatile and inviting layout. The lounge is centred around a striking double-sided fireplace, creating two distinct yet connected living areas and providing excellent flexibility for modern living. This space flows effortlessly into a separate dining area. The stylish, contemporary kitchen is fitted to a high standard and features a central island with breakfast bar, forming the true heart of the home. A separate utility room, additional lean-to space and ground floor WC add further practicality.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a freestanding roll-top bath and a sleek walk-in shower.
Externally, the generous rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a spacious patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. A substantial cabin provides additional versatility, suitable for use as a home office, gym, or storage space.
Further benefits include a garage, off-street parking, numerous built in storage cupboards and oil-fired central heating.
We strongly advise an internal viewing to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer.
