4 bedroom detached house

Rosendale is a charming detached Victorian Villa situated within the quintessential village of Little Waltham which comes to the market for only the fourth time in its history. The property was originally constructed c1900 as a farmhouse with an attached butcher's shop however the butchery was relocated c1920. The iconic house occupies a prominent position central within the village and at the heart of the Little Waltham Conservation Area. Rosendale can be found situated to the east of The Street which is a quiet road bypassed to both the east and west providing alternative access to Chelmsford town centre just under 5 miles away.

Upon entering this historic house, it soon becomes apparent that many of the original Victorian features are still present throughout. The house is sympathetically decorated to complement this period, including high ceilings, sash windows and feature fireplaces. Three reception rooms flank the main reception hall comprising a study, dining room and sitting room. An extended kitchen/breakfast room, complete with a wide range of fitted units and work surfaces, is located to the rear aspect. The studio, originally the butchers shop, has the added bonus of a ground floor bathroom and could be used as an annex.

The first floor comprises four double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying an en-suite facility. The family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms.

To the front of the property a dwarf brick wall with wrought iron works surround an attractive garden.
A mature garden lies adjacent to the rear of the house, with a lawn and paved area which is ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining. Borders stocked with a variety of shrubs screen rear boundary walls and fences with storage available within an attached brick built workshop. Parking for two cars is provided within the rear garden accessed by a shared driveway from The Street.
