Broad Street Green, Hatfield Broad Oak, Bishop's Stortford, CM22

Folio: 15824 A fantastic renovation opportunity to acquire this fire damaged Grade II* listed three bedroom thatched cottage in a delightful plot in a period setting. Oak Cottage is one of the oldest properties in the historic village of Hatfield Broad Oak and is a short walk to the village centre with its junior and infants’ school, nursery, Post Office store, wonderful village green, active local churches, social groups and ultra-fast broadband. There is easy access to both Bishop’s Stortford and Harlow, both enjoying multiple shopping centres, schools, recreational facilities, mainline train stations serving London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. Junction 7a of the M11 is just a 10-minute drive with its onward links to the M25. Sawbridgeworth is just an 8-minute drive and benefits from a mainline train station.

The property, unfortunately, was extensively damaged in a thatch fire and does require complete renovation. It offers a spacious sitting room, dining room, kitchen, two first floor bedrooms, one ground floor bedroom, two bathroom facilities and excellent parking. Gas, electricity and water are laid on.
