Bocking, Braintree, Essex

Guide price £220,000 to £225,000. Forming part of a wonderful and historic building which was once the Bocking workhouse, a charming grade II listed cottage occupying a delightful position with communal gardens bounded by the River Blackwater.

The property features a heavily timbered interior including vaulted roof and King post. The accommodation allows a degree of flexibility with the possibility of sleeping guests within the attic, which also offers excellent storage or even home working potential, if required.

Ideally located for access to village amenities and Braintree town centre, with its excellent facilities and railway station.

There are entrance doors to both the front and rear of the cottage. The rear door, which is the most convenient to use, leads directly into the kitchen. Within the kitchen there are appliances including oven, hob and plumbing for a washing machine, as well as sink, counter tops and storage cupboards. A window over looks the gardens. Stairs rise to the first floor landing a and a doorway leads to the sitting room. Dominated by the delightful and substantial red brick fireplace and wood burning stove, this cosy room is full of a character with a Gothic arched window to the front.

The gallery style first floor landing is extremely impressive as it encompasses a wonderful vaulted ceiling, king post and the open attic space. Access to the attic is via space saving open tread stars with a fairly steep rake, the space being ideal for home working, storage or possibly for guests staying over. The bathroom is surprisingly well proportioned, and the bedroom is equally roomy with ample space for furniture.

Outside
The communal grounds are delightful with a courtyard garden flanked by densely stocked herbaceous borders and to the rear of the garages is a large lawned area with seating leading down to the River Pant with open countryside views beyond.
