Description

A Grade II listed cottage, originating, we understand from the late 18th century, which has been thoughtfully extended to create a highly versatile home. Situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Elmdon, the property combines authentic period character with practical contemporary living spaces.

The ground floor offers an exceptional layout designed for relaxed family life. The substantial 2007 extension introduced a well-appointed kitchen featuring durable Maia worktops, an electric Rangemaster oven, a five-ring induction hob, and integrated Bosch appliances. This space flows naturally into the dining area and the bright sitting room, which is anchored by a traditional log burner. The ground floor is further complemented by a practical utility room with direct garden access, a cloakroom, and a wet-room style family bathroom.

The accommodation is highly adaptable, featuring multiple bedrooms. A notable detail is the additional bedroom, accessed via its own private staircase, which possesses the plumbing infrastructure to add an en-suite bathroom if required. It is feasible that this ‘wing’ of the cottage could serve as a self-contained annexe. The original timber sole plates were replaced in 2010, alongside a comprehensive roof retiling using handmade clay tiles and upgraded insulation.

Externally, the delightful south-facing rear garden is fully dog proof with open arable farmland beyond the neighbouring property. The property benefits from off-road parking for approximately three vehicles and gated side access. Elmdon offers an idyllic lifestyle move with a strong sense of community, a local church, and a village cricket pitch, whilst remaining highly connected.

Commuters are exceptionally well-catered for, with Audley End train station and the M11 both within a ten-minute drive, providing direct and frequent rail services into London Liverpool Street in approximately one hour. Alternatively, Royston station is a twenty-minute drive for direct links to London Kings Cross. The historic market town of Saffron Walden is just fifteen minutes away, offering an array of independent boutiques, cafes, and highly regarded schooling.
