This detached thatched character cottage, nestled in the semi-rural location of Rettendon Common, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. Believed to be around 400 years old, the property features exposed beams and brick-built fireplaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The current owners have sympathetically modernized the cottage, blending timeless character with modern comforts, including a re-thatched roof completed in recent years. The property sits on a plot approaching one third of an acre, with beautifully maintained gardens and a detached outbuilding offering potential for versatile living arrangements. With its semi-rural location, the home offers tranquility and peace, while still being conveniently close to surrounding towns and with direct rail links into London. This unique and characterful home is ready to welcome its next family.
