This beautifully restored 2-bedroom semi-detached cottage perfectly combines historic charm with modern living. Built in 1890, the property has been completely renovated to a high standard, making it ready for its next owner to move straight in.
The ground floor features a bright and contemporary kitchen fitted with brand-new integrated appliances. A spacious living room and a separate reception room provide versatile spaces for relaxation or entertaining. A newly installed downstairs toilet adds convenience to the layout and complies with current building regulations, though it can be removed if desired by the new owners.
Upstairs, the property offers two generously sized bedrooms and a stunning new shower room. The drainage system for the shower room has been completely upgraded and now connects seamlessly to the main drains.
Outside, there is a charming patio garden at the rear, ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing. The front of the property includes a driveway with space for a small car, providing practical off-road parking.
The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation, including a new kitchen, new shower room, updated wiring and fuse board, new plumbing with a modern boiler and heating system, and new double-glazed windows, patio doors, and front door. Insulation has been significantly improved with loft insulation, internal insulation on the ground floor, and a new membrane and insulation for the flat roof at the rear. The staircase has been repositioned for better flow, the upstairs floor joists have been replaced, and a damp-proof course has been installed on the ground floor by Timberwise.
Additional updates include new fencing, guttering, and an outside tap, with wiring added for security cameras, a Ring doorbell, and aerial sockets in key rooms. The property also comes with a Building Control sign-off certificate from Braintree district council ensuring all works meet regulatory standards.
