Nestled within a highly desirable private road position overlooking a charming local recreation ground, this quintessential Grade II Listed detached cottage offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly characterful family home in the heart of Braintree. Believed to date back over 400 years, the property effortlessly combines an abundance of original period features with tasteful contemporary enhancements, following an extensive and sympathetic programme of refurbishment in recent years.

Conveniently situated within walking distance of the town centre, mainline railway station, and highly regarded primary and secondary schooling, this impressive residence is perfectly suited to families and commuters alike.

The beautifully presented ground-floor accommodation commences with a welcoming entrance hall providing access to the first floor and leading to two generously proportioned reception rooms, both showcasing exposed brickwork and traditional beam work synonymous with a home of this era. The stylishly refitted kitchen featuring LVT flooring and quartz worktops is complemented by a separate utility/lobby area, whilst a well-appointed bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all served by a contemporary family shower room. Occupying the second floor is a versatile converted loft room, ideal for use as an additional bedroom, home office, or study space (not finished to current building regulations).

Externally, the property occupies a fabulous and secluded plot of approximately 0.2 of an acre. The meticulously maintained rear garden is a particular highlight, enhanced by an array of mature trees and established shrubbery, creating a wonderfully private outdoor setting. Further benefits include a timber outbuilding/studio, tandem garage, and a substantial driveway providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

A rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique period home offering charm, character, and modern family living within one of Braintree’s most sought-after residential locations.
