Details

This rural cottage is situated within a small hamlet in the middle of open farmland, it is two bedrooms and semi-detached currently but offers a wealth of potential to extend with neighbouring properties having undergone building works to both the rear and side elevations.

The property is greeted with a 5-bar gate which gives access to a driveway which could accommodate many cars or a caravan/motorhome. There is a footpath which leads to the front door to the entrance porch which is ideal for hanging up coats and laying down shoes. A door from here leads to the downstairs hall with stairs to the first floor and a door into the lounge space which is well proportioned with a window to the front aspect, an understairs cupboard and a feature log burner. There is a second reception space which is currently used as a Study/playroom with a window to the side aspect and could be used for many different purposes to suit the incoming purchaser. The kitchen/ diner is on the rear of the property and benefits from French doors leading out into the rear garden and a number of base and eye level units incorporating a sink and there are spaces for appliances. Also on the ground floor is a separate utility room/downstairs WC.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, the principal is a good sized double with fitted wardrobes, views to the front of farmland and an en-suite shower room. The rear bedroom is smaller and gives access to the family bathroom which is complete with a P-shaped bath with shower over, sink and WC.

Externally the property benefits from a garden of a generous size, with plenty of space to grow vegetables and flowers. There is an area to sow a large vegetable patch. There are also a number of sheds in the garden (some requiring work). There is a patio area which immediately abuts the rear of the property and there is an area laid to lawn.

Rectory Road is convenient to the main village of Copford with local shops, retail outlets, garages, hotels etc. The main village of Marks Tey and the suburb of Stanway are within a short drive where there are far more facilities for daily provisions, including schooling, supermarkets and retail outlets. The property is approximately five minutes drive to Marks Tey with access to the A12 between Chelmsford and Ipswich, as well as the A120 linking to Braintree and Stansted Airport/M11 beyond.
