A lovely three bedroom Edwardian cottage situated in a peaceful location in the heart of Earls Colne. The property offers some wonderful features including a log burner, open fireplace in the lounge and a large summer house / home office in the garden.
This beautiful Edwardian cottage is perfectly located for somebody looking for a peaceful location with key amenities on your doorstep.
The current owner has spent the last few years modernising the cottage using sympathetic fittings that compliment the Edwardian era. The ground floor is accessed through a side porch that opens through to an entrance lobby in turn leading into a kitchen. Shaker style units have been added with attractive flooring and wall tiling that finish off the country cottage look. Through the kitchen is a lovely dining room where a log burner has been fitted into the chimney making this the perfect place to relax. A large sash window on the south elevation allows plenty of light into this space. A separate living room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the private front garden and mature hedging.
Onto the first floor you will find an altered layout where three bedrooms are located. The largest of the bedroom is at the front of the house. This bedroom has plenty of space for a double bed and includes a fitted wardrobe and fireplace. Sash windows look out to the front of the property with an open aspect over neighbouring properties. There are two further bedrooms both with sash windows.
The property features plenty of space outside with an enclosed front garden being the perfect place to capture the morning sun. A side courtyard allows space for a dining table alongside a useful timber storage shed. Across a shared right of way, you will find a landscaped garden enclosed within a picket fence. A block paved path leads past a lawn area with wild grass borders and opens to a rear patio in front of a large summer house / home office. Within the summer house you will find light, power and electric heating.
