Description
This historic Grade II listed property, affectionately known as "Dorothy Sayers Cottage," is a unique opportunity to own a piece of literary history in the heart of Witham. The former residence of renowned English crime writer Dorothy L. Sayers, who wrote the Lord Peter Wimsey series, boasts a rich heritage dating back to the 1500s. The property's timber-framed structure, enhanced with a mock Georgian façade, reflects its historical evolution, with original features such as sash windows, traditional joinery, and a classic staircase. The property has been lovingly maintained by its current owners for over five decades, and now offers a blend of historical charm and modern convenience. With three spacious reception rooms, multiple double bedrooms, and a generous plot with a private garden, this property is an ideal spot for those who appreciate heritage, literature, and the charm of period homes.
