Part of our Signature collection, a charming Grade II* Listed 17th Century thatched cottage with no onward chain position within mature grounds of approximately 0.7 acres, enjoying a countryside setting whilst being within 10 miles of Chelmsford City centre.

Auction Guide Price – £390,000 - £410,000 Plus fees
Believed to date back to 1571 with later additions in the 1960's, Cromwell House has an abundance of original features whilst offering flexible and spacious accommodation throughout. The property is offered to the market as an exciting restoration project with the opportunity to personalise and modernise to one's taste.

The property is entered through a front porch into the dining room, the heart of the home with an attractive fireplace and bay window overlooking the gardens. From here the kitchen offers ample storage and a door to the garden room. There is also a cloakroom, utility and several storage cupboards. To the other side of the dining room is a study space adjoining the large sitting room with two fireplaces and a staircase to the first floor.

Two staircases lead to the first floor where there are four bedrooms. Bedroom four / dressing room adjoins the principal bedroom positioned in the older part of the house. There is a shower room situated off the landing which continues on to provide access to the remaining bedrooms and an en-suite.
The cottage is set back from the road with a driveway providing parking for ample cars which leads to the detached, thatched roof double garage. To the front of the property is an enclosed lawned garden interspersed with well stocked flower beds and an attractive feature well. There is an orchard to the far side and a derelict timber frame building. The rear garden is secluded, bounded by a mature tree line with country fields beyond. The garden offers plenty of space for the new purchaser to landscape to their own taste. We are informed there has been historical subsidence at the property and the property has been partially underpinned.

The property is in need of modernisation and has been valued to reflect this.
