A rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful Grade II Listed thatched cottage, full of charm and character, located in the desirable village of Little Baddow, just moments from Danbury. This historic home, believed to date back to 1640, was originally three millers’ cottages and now offers versatile accommodation with stunning period features, including exposed beams, original fireplaces, and quirky staircases.
Set on approximately one-third of an acre, the property enjoys fabulous wrap-around gardens, complete privacy, and a peaceful countryside setting.
A characterful thatched porch leads into a welcoming dining hall with a large open fireplace and exposed timbers. To the front is a cosy sitting room with a second fireplace, while to the rear, a charming study and shower room offer potential for a ground floor bedroom suite.
The kitchen/diner is full of rustic charm with a gas-fired AGA plus electric oven and ceramic hobs, a double aspect windows, and direct access to the rear courtyard terrace. To the rear, a bright drawing room with French doors overlooks the west-facing gardens. A utility/laundry room and a stylish Art Deco-style bathroom with vaulted ceiling complete the ground floor.
There are three double bedrooms, all nestled in the eaves of the cottage. Two are accessed via a winding staircase hidden behind a door, and the third by a separate staircase. The bedrooms are full of character with exposed beams, garden views, and built-in storage.
A private driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached wooden garage/workshop with power. The generous gardens feature lawns, terraces, mature borders, a courtyard, greenhouse, pond, and chicken run — a haven for gardeners and outdoor living enthusiasts.
The property benefits from a new thatched roof installed in 2021 and has been recently inspected in 2024.
Nestled in the heart of the Essex countryside, Little Baddow is a picturesque and highly sought-after village offering an idyllic blend of rural tranquility and convenient accessibility. Surrounded by beautiful woodland and open fields, this charming village is renowned for its scenic walks, historic character, and strong sense of community
Despite its peaceful atmosphere, Little Baddow enjoys excellent transport links. The nearby town of Chelmsford (just a short drive away) provides a comprehensive range of amenities, shopping, dining, and schooling options, along with a direct rail service to London Liverpool Street in approximately 35 minutes. The upcoming Beaulieu Park Station is a short drive away. The A12 is also easily accessible for those commuting by road. Local schools include Elm Green Preparatory, The Sandon School, and Heathcote, with independent options such as New Hall, Felsted, and Boreham also within reach.
Palmer and Partners would encourage early internal viewings.
