A rare opportunity to purchase a grade II listed period cottage delightfully located in the historic Village of Pleshey about 6 miles North West of Chelmsford. The cottage is thought to date back many hundreds of years and had a two story extension added in the 1980s to greatly enlarge the original cottage. It is located literally on the doorstep of where Pleshey Castle once stood and where Pleshey Mount View Point is and has the local Village Public House across the road! The cottage has immense character and charm with exposed beams and studwork, feature brick fireplaces, latch and brace doors etc as well as having a delightful Southerly facing private rear garden and off road parking to the side. Internal viewing recommended!
