An exceptional opportunity to acquire a quintessentially English Grade II Listed cottage, in the heart of Roydon village.
Hill Cottage is a wonderfully charming and tastefully renovated 3/4 bedroom period home dating back to the 1640s, brimming with original character including exposed beams, restored plasterwork and an impressive inglenook-style fireplace. This is a home that perfectly blends timeless heritage with considered modern living.
Features
The accommodation is surprisingly spacious throughout and begins with a welcoming entrance hall with W.C. The generous, multi-aspect lounge is a standout feature of the home-centred around a magnificent original brick fireplace with log burner. The exposed beams have been meticulously restored, complementing the refreshed plasterwork on both walls and ceilings to create a warm and inviting setting.
To the rear, the dining room enjoys views of the garden and offers superb versatility as a formal dining space, family room, playroom or home office.
This leads through to a beautifully fitted kitchen, newly installed with classic shaker-style cabinetry, wooden work surfaces, integrated seating with storage, spaces for appliances and a window overlooking the garden. Attractive herringbone flooring and a stable-style rear door complete this characterful space.
The first floor provides three well-appointed bedrooms along with the family bathroom.
The master bedroom continues the theme of sensitive renovation, showcasing restored beams, fitted wardrobes and access to a large loft room currently used as a study-ideal for home working or easily adapted into a fourth bedroom if required.
Bedroom two is a comfortable double with a picture window overlooking the rear garden, while bedroom three offers excellent flexibility as a single or compact double.
The upgraded family bathroom is dual-aspect and finished with a modern suite including shower-over-bath, oversized basin with storage beneath and W.C.

To the front, Hill Cottage enjoys a small fenced garden and gravelled driveway providing off-street parking for two cars.
The established rear garden is a delightful sanctuary, featuring mature shrubs, trees and planting, vegetable patch, generous lawn, patio area ideal for outdoor dining, treehouse and swing, three useful storage sheds and side access.
