56 Wash Cottages is an attractive Grade II Listed home, one of a row of three picture-perfect thatched cottages set on the edge of the village of Debden. With views across open countryside and a wealth of period character, the property offers a delightful blend of historic charm and modern family living. Inside, the cottage retains a host of original features, from exposed timbers and ledged oak doors to a handsome brick fireplace that forms the heart of the sitting room. The ground floor unfolds with two welcoming reception rooms to the front, each full of character and natural light. The sitting room centres around its exposed brick fireplace, while the neighbouring reception room enjoys dual aspects to the front and side, with a charming exposed brick fire breast.
To the rear, the property opens up into a wonderful kitchen and family room – the true heart of the home. Extended to create a sense of scale and light, this impressive space features overhead skylights, a striking slot window and wide bi-folding doors leading to a private courtyard. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with ample storage and work surfaces, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, and space for a range cooker with extractor above – all combining practicality with contemporary style. A ground floor shower room completes the layout.
A spiral staircase rises to the first floor, where a spacious landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. A concealed staircase from the landing continues to the second floor, revealing two further adjoining rooms – perfect as additional bedrooms, a study or hobby space.
Outside
The cottage sits within gardens extending to the front and side, bordered by mature hedgerows that provide a sense of privacy and enclosure. Mainly laid to lawn, with a paved terrace for entertaining, the garden is both practical and charming. A driveway to the side offers ample parking and leads to a substantial timber-framed garage.
