Magnolia Cottage is a charming semi-detached period home tucked away in the heart of Great Chesterford, one of North Essex’s most desirable villages. Set on a generous and beautifully landscaped plot, this character-filled home blends timeless features with modern flexibility — ideal for families, professionals, or downsizers seeking space and charm in equal measure.
Approached via a brick paved driveway, the property opens into a delightful walled garden and leads to a detached double garage with an adjoining studio and shower room, perfect as a home office or guest suite. At the far end of the garden, a contemporary garden room with bi-fold doors offers additional space for work or relaxation, all set within a secluded, mature lawned garden with trees, patio areas, and plenty of space for entertaining.
Internally, the home is rich in character. A welcoming entrance hall leads into a beautifully beamed living room with exposed timbers and an open brick fireplace. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/dining room, with shaker-style cabinetry and a Rayburn range. French doors open directly to the terrace, making it ideal for summer dining. A separate study/snug, utility room, and downstairs shower room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the main bedroom offers extensive built-in storage and a peaceful outlook over Carmel Street. Two further double bedrooms, a smartly finished family bathroom, and a versatile study/nursery off of the master bedroom complete the first floor. All rooms are light-filled and tastefully decorated, preserving the home’s period soul while offering practical modern living.
The cottage is just a short walk from the village primary school and mainline train station, with fast and convenient links to London and Cambridge, making this an exceptional opportunity to enjoy village life without compromising on connectivity.
