Period Terrace Cottage Potentially Dating Back to the 17th Century
With a guide price of £225,000 – £230,000 (plus fees), this period terrace cottage located in Great Baddow, Essex, is thought to date back to the mid 17th century. Arranged over three floors with a rear extension, the cottage would benefit from modernisation but also offers well-preserved character features, alongside a sprightly rear garden.
The property is situated close to local amenities and shops, and for the more enthusiastic shopper, additional High Street shopping is a short distance away in Chelmsford where the mainline railway station that connects to London (Liverpool Street) is also available.
This charming two bedroom period cottage could be the perfect place to settle down, or could alternatively be rented out to tenants.

Nestled in the charming rural Hampshire village of Headley, you’re not likely to run out of space with this freehold site as it measures up at a whopping 7.21 acres! It also has vehicular access as well as direct access to a bridleway.
And if you’ve ever planned on living your dreams of owning your own stable, this lot has planning permission for the construction of a private stable block and hay barn along with associated sand school - so there’s plenty of potential up for grabs from this particular lot.
