This charming character cottage, believed to date back to the early 1900s, has been beautifully improved by the current owners, increasing its living space to 1,859 square feet. The property boasts five reception areas, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, four double bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The detached double garage offers potential for conversion into a home studio or annex, while the rear garden features a covered hot tub area and a multi-purpose garden room. The cottage is situated in the village of Tiptree, just 10 miles from Colchester, and is surrounded by open countryside, smaller villages, and hamlets. The village offers a range of local shops, stores, and amenities, including a popular tea room and jam factory. With its proximity to train stations and a good school nearby, this property is an attractive option for families and commuters alike.
