Description
Langton Cottage is an attractive four bedroom detached family home, ideally situated close to the charming village of Felsted, approximately 10 miles north of the city of Chelmsford and 5 miles from the market town of Great Dunmow. The property has undergone substantial improvement, including re-wiring and hot water installation. A new 'A' rated boiler was installed in December 2023. Replacement double-glazed windows feature throughout the majority of the house. Originally built around 1938 and enjoying a south-west facing garden, the property is constructed of brick beneath a mansard tiled roof and has been exceptionally well maintained over the years and thoughtfully enhanced, with extensions added to both sides in 2010/2011. These additions provide an integral garage with a bedroom suite above, an additional bedroom, a snug, and an enlarged kitchen, creating well-balanced and versatile family accommodation. Notwithstanding the improvements already undertaken, the property continues to offer further scope for enhancement, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The accommodation extends to just under 2,000 sq ft and is entered from the front via a welcoming entrance hall. The kitchen/diner is positioned to the rear of the house and was fitted by Humphrey Munson. This wonderful space comprises a range of solid oak cabinets and a selection of Siemens appliances. The room has been finished with a Mandarin Stone Nautilus stone flooring and opens directly out to the southwest-facing garden. The snug and dining room are positioned to the front of the house, offering very comfortable and flexible spaces. The principal reception room spans the length of the house and opens to a sun room with access to the rear garden. Concluding the ground floor accommodation is the cloakroom, providing Duravit sanitaryware and Hansgrohe fittings.
The first floor offers four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal suite enjoys a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and a luxury en suite, comprising Carrara marble wall tiles and Duravit sanitaryware.
Outside
The property is discreetly set back from the road behind well-maintained hedging, with a driveway leading to the front of the house and providing parking for several vehicles. A rectangular front garden is bordered by a shingle pathway, and to the side of the house, there is an integral garage with timber doors. The south-west facing rear garden is accessed directly from the kitchen/diner and sun room, creating an extension of the living space. With far-reaching views over the Chelmer Valley, it begins with a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining, which leads onto a generous expanse of lawn. The garden continues towards a greenhouse and an additional seating area located behind the garage. Thoughtfully landscaped and well-stocked, the garden offers year-round colour and interest. A timber-framed potting shed and a further terrace provide charming spots from which to enjoy the evening sunsets.
All in about 0.2 of an acre.
Services: Mains water, mains drainage (completion by March 2026) gas and electricity connected.
Location
Langton Cottage is conveniently situated 0.3 miles to the south of Felsted village which is a highly regarded and picturesque Essex village, celebrated for its strong sense of community and excellent educational facilities.
The village is home to the renowned Felsted School, one of the country’s leading independent co-educational schools, located near the property. In addition, Felsted benefits from a well-regarded primary school, an excellent village store with a post office, traditional public houses and a range of recreational facilities. Landmarks include Holy Cross Church and the popular Wood Cottage Tea Rooms, known for their welcoming atmosphere. The village also offers a livery yard, while sporting facilities within the grounds of Felsted School include a gym, squash courts and badminton clubs.
For more extensive amenities, the city of Chelmsford is within easy reach, providing a comprehensive selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with a mainline railway service to London Liverpool Street (from approximately 36 minutes). Additional stations can be found at Beaulieu Park, Witham and Braintree, while London Stansted Airport is also conveniently accessible. An hourly bus service runs through the village, connecting to neighbouring towns and Stansted Airport. The university city of Cambridge lies approximately 38 miles away, making it suitable for commuting.
Road connections are excellent, with access to the A120 linking directly to Stansted Airport, and onward connections to the M11 motorway and M25 motorway beyond.
