House For Sale £1,425,000
Daisy Cottage is believed to have origins in the 16th century and also served time as a public house. The property has been extended and renovated across the years and now provides an appealing home where character features blend perfectly with contemporary interior styling to provide a comfortable environment for a modern lifestyle. On the ground floor, reception rooms comprise a stunning sitting room, with inglenook fireplace and steps down into a partly-enclosed snug area with timber panels and exposed beams and posts. The adjacent study also features a fireplace, with a formal dining room accessed from the hallway offering the ideal setting for entertaining. An impressive kitchen/breakfast room has stone-tiled flooring, Shaker-style cabinetry, granite and wood work surfaces, with an island unit, and a stove within a brick-built surround with timber lintel.
Two staircases give access to the four bedrooms, with the principal room having extensive wardrobe storage and an en-suite with contemporary fittings. There is a family bathroom with vintage fittings, including a free-standing, roll-top bath.
Daisy Cottage occupies an idyllic setting, nestled in a rural landscape with direct access to delightful walks and bridleways. The mid-Essex village of Blackmore End is within easy reach of the towns of Braintree and Halstead for shopping, leisure and cultural amenities. Educational facilities can be found in both the private and state sector with primary schools in the neighbouring villages of Wethersfield, Finchingfield and Great Bardfield. Secondary schools are located in Sible Headingham, Halsted, Braintree and Great Dunmow with private schooling available in Gosfield and Felsted. For commuters, regular railway services are offered at Chelmsford, Braintree and Witham offering links to Stratford and London Liverpool Street and by road the nearby A120 provides access to the M11 for journeys southwards into London and northwards to Cambridge.
The property is accessed on two sides, with one entrance leading onto a paved and gravelled driveway adjacent to the timber framed, weather boarded barn, and on the other a length of roadway leads to the stable block. The garden has areas laid to lawn, with manicured evergreen hedging, trellis, archways and pretty flower borders, along with mature shrubs and specimen trees, providing a haven in which to relax. There is a paved terrace offering opportunities for outdoor dining, which is enclosed by a brick-retaining wall with planting pocket and the garden and grounds enjoy an outlook to the surrounding stunning countryside
