Well cottage is a most attractive detached Grade II Listed period home of considerable style and character, occupying this lovely setting within the ever popular village of Rickling Green, enjoying views over paddocks to the rear and lovely picturesque village green to the front.
The property has undergone numerous works and improvement during recent times with its characterful interior complemented by stylish décor. The front door opens into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a number of attractive exposed beams and timbers. The principal sitting room has 3 windows on two sides drawing in good amounts of natural light, a brick fireplace with fitted gas stove and exposed beams and timbers. A separate family room looks out to the front with attractive wooden flooring, exposed timbers and part glazed door opening into the garden room which is extensively glazed overlooking the rear garden and with doors opening to outside. A nicely appointed kitchen incorporates a range of storage cupboards, complemented by wooden worktops and composited stone topped island which incorporates a breakfast bar and wine cooler. There are further integrated appliances including fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine with window looking out to the rear over gardens and towards paddock land beyond. Just off the kitchen is a useful ground floor shower room which incorporates a 3-piece suite.
Upstairs, the first floor landing has some useful built-in storage space and gives access to the 4 nicely proportioned bedrooms, all of which enjoy an attractive village aspect and a family bathroom which incorporates a 3-piece suite.
Outside, a gravelled driveway approached from the road provides off-street parking space for several vehicles with a garden area set to one side bordered by mature hedgerow at the front. The main garden area measures approx. 62ft deep x 48ft wide and is a particularly attractive feature of the property laid out predominantly to lawn with a paved patio adjoining the back of the house providing ideal space for outside entertaining, which is in addition to a large timber deck which sits at the rear of the garden creating an additional seating area enjoying views over paddocks beyond its rear boundary. In addition, the garden contains a large detached studio which could serve a variety of purposes but would make the perfect office for those who work from home having doors opening onto the timber deck and a window overlooking paddocks to the rear.
Agent's note: There is a modest rent of approx. £225 pa which allows use of a small portion of land to the rear which is not on the title of Well Cottage.
Rickling green is a small north west Essex village surrounding the well known village green and cricket pitch. A public house and primary school are situated within the village which has access to the M11 (J8) approximately 7 miles distant and the historic town of Saffron Walden is approximately 7 miles to the north east. Mainline railway services are available from Audley End, Newport, Stansted and Bishop’s Stortford.
