The cottages, believed to date back to the early 1900s, have been fully renovated and extended to provide stylish and well-laid-out living spaces. The highlight of the property is the attractive kitchen/dining room, which features a modern shaker-style kitchen, a part-vaulted ceiling, and Velux windows. The property also includes a snug/living room, a utility room, and three bedrooms, including an en-suite shower room and family bathroom. The cottage sits on a generous plot with a lovely rear garden and driveway parking, complete with an EV point. The location is ideal, with the village of Heybridge and the historic town of Maldon within easy reach.
