Rettendon Common
What we Say at The Zoe Napier Group
This charming character cottage, situated on a large plot with beautifully screened rear gardens gives the feeling of a picturesque country holiday home, and enjoys the benefits of a choice of local scenic walks. With three double bedrooms plus a detached guest house the property also offers potential for multi-generational living.
What the Owner Says
This really is such a welcoming and cosy cottage, bright and cheery in the spring/summer months and brilliant on winter nights, and at Christmas for nestling in front of the fire with family and friends. Our mature gardens display wonderful diverse changing colours throughout the year, and we love our birdlife inhabitants.
History & Background
The owners can offer an end of chain situation!
This picture book three bedroom detached thatched cottage, is full of character and enjoys a superb private rear garden, screened by woodland.
Although not listed, the cottage is believed to date back approximately 400 years and is bursting with charm and character enjoying an array of period features including red brick fireplaces, exposed timbers and generous ceiling heights.
Set in mature established grounds the property backs onto woodland with open farmland beyond, and the screened rear gardens enjoy an abundance of natural wildlife and birdlife. Despite the countryside setting, the property benefits from its proximity to a local railway station with commuting links to London. The property therefore can offer a wonderful semi-rural lifestyle for buyers who need to work in London.
The characterful interior is mostly single storey accommodation with two reception areas including the large sitting/ dining room and snug. The cottage offers versatility for three double bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor, one being a master with ensuite, with the third bedroom on the first floor with a delightful Juliet Balcony.
For those seeking multi-generational living there is an impressive separate guest house with double bedroom, shower room, sitting room and fitted kitchen.
Setting & Location
The property is situated on a quiet country lane in the highly sought-after semi-rural hamlet of Rettendon Common that lies equidistant between the popular villages of East and South Hanningfield. Positioned approximately seven miles south from the City of Chelmsford and close to the commuting towns of Wickford, Billericay and Rayleigh, the area provides an excellent choice of both amenities and schooling.
Rettendon Common is a delightful area, surrounded by countryside and with immediate access to excellent rural walks including trails that lead the popular Old Windmill Gastro Pub in South Hanningfield, and the stunning Hanningfield Reservoir and Nature Reserve, open to the public and with a sunset café overlooking the water.
The cottage itself stands on a generous and secluded plot and a path through the grounds leads to the separate guest house that has a driveway with parking space for up to nine or ten vehicles
