Springwood Cottage is a beautiful four-bedroom period home situated in the charming north Essex hamlet of Catmere End, just 4 miles west of Saffron Walden.

This well-maintained home boasts original features dating back 400 years, with additional extensions made 300 years ago and more recently in the 70s and late 90s. The spacious accommodation spans approximately 1,700 sqft, offering ample living space.

As you enter the property through the stable door, you'll find a welcoming lobby area equipped with under-counter storage and a water softener. From here, there are entrances to both the utility room and the kitchen/dining room. The modern kitchen was refitted in 2015 and boasts complementary base and eye-level units, as well as an integrated Neff electric oven and dishwasher. There is also ample space for an American-style fridge freezer. The utility room is equipped with provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer, oil fired boiler which was upgraded in 2017, along with a handy worksurface and handheld shower connection. Additionally, there is a door leading to the cloakroom.

Continuing through the kitchen/dining area is a further entrance to the living room. This space is the centrepiece of the home and features exposed timbers, a red brick fireplace with a log burner, stairs leading to the first floor, and a door to an inner lobby. The inner lobby houses the original front door and connects to the sitting room. 

The sitting room is an impressive room with its exposed timbers and a grand Inglenook fireplace. It was extended during the late 90s with a two-story addition that features a cosy snug/study area and a sliding door leading to the conservatory.

As you make your way upstairs, you'll find a landing that leads to four spacious double bedrooms and a shower room. The principle bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a walk-in wardrobe, a dressing room, and a sleek en-suite bathroom complete with a bath, wash hand basin, and WC.

The second and third bedrooms offer a lovely view of the garden, and an additional fourth bedroom was included in the late 90s extension. The shower room includes a shower cubicle, a wash hand basin, and a WC. Additionally, there is a cupboard that houses the shower pump.

Springwood Cottage is situated on a 0.14-acre plot with a well-manicured garden mainly consisting of a central lawned area, surrounding block paved pathways, and a charming patio area with raised flower beds. Additionally, at the end of the garden, there are several outbuildings including a shed, workshop, and garage which is equipped with an electric rollover door. Off-street parking for two cars is conveniently located in front of the garage.
