THE CROFT has been in the ownership of the same family since about 1950 as a small stock farm and in recent years has fallen into disrepair. The house was Listed in 1978 and de-Listed in 2023, which will give the next owner greater potential to improve and extend. The exact date of construction of the property is uncertain. It formed part of the Warish Hall Estate and was described in an auction catalogue dating from 1921 as “a desirable detached cottage timber framed and tiled”. The house was re-modelled in the 1970s, when the weather boarding was removed and replaced with pargetted render.
The current accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, family room, kitchen and ground floor shower room. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a dressing room/occasional bedroom 4. The plan shows the boundaries. The driveway will remain in the current ownership, to allow access to the retained land.
AGENT'S NOTE: The condition of the property is such that it may be difficult to secure a mortgage.
Smiths Green is a hamlet about half a mile from the village of Takeley, a West Essex village, is situated approximately 4 miles to the east of Bishop’s Stortford, and is now bypassed by the A120 trunk road. There is a village shop, post office, primary school, cricket and football fields and public house. The market town of Bishop’s Stortford provides a wide range of amenities including shops and schools and mainline station to London's Liverpool Street. The M11 motorway (3 miles) provides excellent road communications with London, Cambridge and the M25.
