Description

Langton Cottage is an attractive detached family home occupying a convenient setting close to the charming village of Felsted, about 10 miles north of the city of Chelmsford and 5 miles from the market town of Great Dunmow.

The property was built around 1938, constructed of brick with a mansard tiled roof. The property has been very well maintained and enhanced with extensions added either side in 2010/11 providing the integral garage and bedroom suite above, additional bedroom, snug and an extension of the kitchen.

The property has undergone substantial improvement including re-wiring and hot water installation. A new 'A' rated boiler was installed in December 2023. Replacement double-glazed windows feature throughout the majority of the house.

The accommodation extends to just under 2,000 sq ft and is entered from the front via a welcoming entrance hall. The kitchen/diner is positioned to the rear of the house and was fitted by Humphrey Munson. This wonderful space comprises a range of solid oak cabinets and a selection of Siemens appliances.
