Full Description: Handsome early 20th century detached house set in an idyllic, elevated position with views of open countryside and a private garden. Offering nearly 2,500 square feet of accommodation, this period property is a lovely family home. Built in 1915 as a pair of semi-detached homes, Boxtree Cottage has been thoughtfully transformed into a detached country residence, nestled within the picturesque North Essex countryside. Despite its serene setting, the property is conveniently close to the local pub, shop, and school, offering the best of both rural tranquillity and accessible amenities.Set on a 0.5-acre plot, the cottage is surrounded by mature hedging, providing a heightened sense of privacy. The house has undergone extensive renovations in recent years, resulting in a spacious and versatile living environment, ideal for a growing family.Upon entering, you are welcomed by a charming entrance hall.
