Nestled within the sought-after village of Hatfield Peverel, Shepherd's Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful, Listed Grade II, detached home within a delightful setting. Dating back to the 16th century and showcasing all the warmth and charm of its period heritage, the property has been sympathetically enhanced through thoughtful extensions and modernisation.
Extending to approximately 2,500 sq ft (plus carport and store), the cottage offers four reception rooms, a welcoming kitchen/dining room, utility and ground floor cloakroom. A bright conservatory links the sitting room to a versatile study, while a feature fireplace provides a true focal point to the main living space. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with a large en-suite bathroom, alongside a stylish five-piece family bathroom. Throughout the home, practical storage and a sense of flow - together with good ceiling heights - make for easy day-to-day living, wrapped in centuries-old character.
Outside, the cottage enjoys off-street parking and a south-west facing garden complete with a natural pond and lovely views across to Little Baddow from the first floor. The setting is exceptional - set adjacent to a vibrant allotment, and moments from walks leading towards the River Chelmer and Paper Mill Lock, yet also within walking distance of Hatfield Peverel's mainline station, offering fast and frequent services into London Liverpool Street. The village itself provides an excellent range of amenities, including a primary school, shops, pubs, and direct road access to Chelmsford and the A12.
Shepherd's Cottage offers a rare blend of period character and modern practicality - a truly special opportunity in one of mid-Essex's most desirable and well-connected villages.
