4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Welcome to Longbarns Cottage. Surrounded by beautiful Essex countryside and steeped in over 400 years of history, this Grade II listed four bedroom home is full of character features to love. Some homes leave lasting impressions and this is certainly one of them!

Completely stand-out, from the start serious kerb appeal is on offer with a gated gravelled driveway and sweeping countryside views. Forming part of the historic Longbarns Farmhouse, step inside to find a home packed full of historic detail from inglenook fireplaces to rich oak beams - a heritage that dates back to the Tudor period. Across the ground floor find a collection of versatile and functional living spaces, including the kitchen, utility, WC and office along with three reception rooms. The classic shaker kitchen is full of country charm with a Rangemaster cooker, butler sink and island with breakfast bar seating. A real highlight for us has to be the through lounge/diner that’s completely warm and inviting. A fantastic space to host and entertain find oak flooring underfoot, exposed beams plus a standout inglenook fireplace to love.

Upstairs find four double bedrooms, two of which are complete with ensuites. Again the layout here is fabulous - perhaps for a growing family or to host guests - the scope is superb. We especially love the ‘two-wing’ layout that’s perfect for a growing teen, or even the parents in need of a break! Completing the home, the family bathroom with its roll top tub is a stunning space to relax within.

Outside the beautiful grounds of approx. 0.25 acres provide space and privacy - a dream for families and waggy tailed friends. Complete with lush lawn, mature planting and a children’s play area - forever memories are set to be made here.

Longbarns Cottage offers Essex rural living at its very best, with easy access to local towns that pack a punch - including Ongar, Epping and Bishop’s Stortford. With both Epping’s Underground and Sawbridgeworth’s Overground stations not too far away, commuter life is made simpler with access into London and beyond. For something closer to home, some of our local recommendations to try include Sunday Lunch at the nearby Dog and Pickle, or summer days with a G&T in hand on the lawn at The Chequers Matching Green. Something special, this home is one not to miss.
