4 Bed Cottage House For Sale Swan Lane, Ingatestone, CM4

Brights Cottage was once believed to be the Huntsman's Cottages for the nearby Manor House dating back circa 1640.

The current owners have cherished this charming cottage for nearly four decades, raising their family in a semi-rural setting that still offers easy access to top schools, shopping, and transportation links.

They've especially adored the expansive garden, with its secluded spaces, wooded areas, lawns, and vibrant courtyard that bursts with colour throughout the seasons.

Entering through the porch into a welcoming reception hall, you'll find all ground floor amenities, including a bathroom. The sitting room, separated by beams, features a fireplace and views of the side garden.

The kitchen, accessed from the hall, boasts a quarry tiled floor and hand-built wooden cabinets. Adjacent is a breakfast area with an original bread oven.

Another sitting room, brightened by dual aspect windows and French doors, leads to the garden. Double doors open to a dining room and a private courtyard.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom await. The principal bedroom offers a built-in vanity sink unit, with potential for conversion into an en-suite or dressing area.

Outside, the cottage sits on a secluded third-acre plot with gated off-road parking and a detached garage. The garden, surrounded by mature shrubs and trees, ensures privacy.

Located in Norton Heath, just off the A414, the cottage offers countryside walks and easy access to Norton café, Blackmore Village, Chelmsford, Ongar, and Ingatestone Train Station, making London just 30 minutes away.
