Castle Hedingham, Halstead, Essex

Church Cottage is a delightful grade II listed attached cottage, probably dating from the 17th century, occupying a central position within the village just on the boundary of St Nicholas church, which provides the property with a wonderful backdrop.

Conveniently positioned for all village amenities, the cottage is deceptively well proportioned when measured against similar homes within the immediate area, and features two spacious reception rooms and a cellar, with natural ventilation. Some modernisation combined with possible internal reorganisation would significantly enhance the property, which is offered for sale with no on going chain.

A delightful and healthily stocked garden offering natural privacy is retained by perimeter brick wall with hard landscaping which provides the access to Church Cottage, through a characterful timber door. The first room upon entry is the dining room, a very well proportioned area with distinctive brick floor, lovely high ceiling, lots of natural light and access to the kitchen and shower room.

Steps lead up to the sitting room which equally feels light and airy, with French doors leading to the rear courtyard and a wide opening, which forms the way through to an area which could be enjoyed as a snug, but certainly an area of repose.

The sitting room features a fireplace, focal to the room, with brick surround and timber bressummer, and a further entrance door, infrequently used, hides behind a curtain and rail. From the snug there is a door way and steps descending to the cellar, and a folding door with stairs ascending to the first floor. The cellar is a surprisingly proportioned and useful space with natural ventilation, some fitted shelving and power and light available.

The first floor landing could accommodate a small study desk, thus provide an area to work, and from the landing there is access to the main bedroom and thence the second bedroom which features its own internal WC. facility.

The rear courtyard garden is orientated to south and retained by brick wall It offers privacy and of course wonderful views of the church and surround.
