Guide Price £400,000 - £415,000. Heritage Cottage, Thoughtfully Restored. A beautifully curated two-bedroom character cottage, believed to date from 1869, set in the heart of Stansted and defined by colour, texture and thoughtful design. Interiors are rich with personality, blending original features with a confident use of colour and carefully layered finishes. Reclaimed timber floors — salvaged from a former Norfolk boarding school — sit alongside exposed brickwork, stripped beams and a log-burning stove, creating warmth and authenticity throughout. The house has been comprehensively improved in recent years, including a new kitchen (2024), bathroom (2025) and boiler (2022), alongside updated electrics, replastering and bespoke internal storage. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer a calm and characterful retreat, with recently replaced carpets and a cohesive decorative scheme continuing the home’s considered feel. Outside, the south-facing garden has been thoughtfully cleared and replanted, now home to peonies, roses, hydrangeas, lavender and verbena through the seasons. A detached studio, constructed in 2022 and professionally soundproofed, provides a flexible space for home working or creative use. A charming village cottage where heritage, craftsmanship and modern comfort sit comfortably together.
