A truly stunning unlisted cottage dating back to the 16th century in some parts, this home is steeped in history and brimming with character. Originally three separate cottages, it has been thoughtfully reconfigured into a spacious detached family home while retaining its period charm. From rustic wooden beams and exposed brickwork to original tiled floors and cosy fireplaces, every room tells a story, creating a warm and inviting home with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and four generous reception rooms.
Located between the award-winning village of Finchingfield and Cornish Hall End. With Finchingfield often hailed as the most photographed village in Essex, the property enjoys a quintessential village atmosphere. Only a short drive from Braintree and Saffron Walden, the home offers both charm and convenience in a truly desirable location.
On the ground floor, you are welcomed by a main hallway with beautiful original tiled flooring leading to a formal lounge complete with a wood-burning stove. The rear cottage-style kitchen overlooks the garden and is complemented by a separate utility room. The dining room, with a cosy fireplace, flows seamlessly to a home office and a spacious family room, while four staircases throughout the home add intrigue and character to the layout. Upstairs, five double bedrooms await, alongside three family bathrooms.
Externally, the property continues to delight with formal front gardens, patios, and extensive rear gardens. A Cart lodge and workshop offer versatile storage and potential for a future annex, subject to planning, while off-road parking accommodates multiple vehicles.
Steeped in history and overflowing with character, this cottage is a rare treasure. Rustic wooden beams, exposed brickwork, original tiled floors, and charming fireplaces create a home full of warmth and story.
