" Old Brow is an end terraced listed period cottage enjoying a pleasant location within this highly sought after and well served North Essex village, with delightful village roofline views taking in the parish church.

A ledge and board door enters a spacious entrance hall which has open tread stairs rising to the first floor and exposed timbers to the ceiling. A stripped door enters the sitting room which has a red brick chimney breast with an inset wood burning stove upon a brick hearth, exposed beams to the walls and ceiling and a dual aspect with twin windows opening through to the garden room. There is an impressive split level reception room which has a second wood burner set within a brick fireplace with oak shelving to the side and an attractive dwarf red brick wall with supporting oak posts segregating a dining area which has a brick floor and door leading to the terrace and rear garden.

The kitchen is situated to the rear elevation of the property and overlooks the garden. It has a range of floor mounted pine units with a single bowl stainless steel sink, plumbing for a washing machine and exposed brickwork to the walls. A further door enters the garden room which has two doors leading to the garden and provides informal entertaining space.

The first floor is equally charming and has a spacious galleried landing from which the bedrooms can be accessed. The larger bedroom has a dual aspect allowing it to take advantage of the attractive views and has exposed timbers to the wall, and the second bedroom having a single aspect and built-in wardrobes. There is a spacious family bathroom to the rear of the property fitted with a white suite, adjacent to which is a large linen cupboard which could readily be used as an en-suite for another bedroom

(subject to planning consents).

The property benefits from side access from Bayley Street to the delightful rear garden which provides a high degree of privacy. It benefits from a South and Westerly aspect enabling it to take advantage of the afternoon and evening sun. There is a large terrace immediately to the rear of the property accessed via the dining room and the garden room making it ideal for entertaining. The gardens comprise extensive herbaceous borders which are densely stocked with a variety of shrubs, perennials and evergreen plants which provide year round interest. There is an attractive winding brick path adjacent to which is an ornamental pond and there is a large centre border with an attractive cherry tree. The borders are interspersed with expanses of lawn with shaped edges.  

Agents Notes The property requires extensive modernisation and improvement throughout.

The property would benefit from a rear first floor extension above the kitchen, which would allow the new owners to create a third bedroom with an additional bathroom, this would of course be subject to the necessary planning consents.
