Property Description
Gainsborough Cottage is situated in the picturesque village of Matching Tye, set within a conservation area, in front a picturesque green. Matching Tye is set amongst some of the finest countryside in West Essex. A plaque on the front indicates a date of 1692, but there is significant evidence to suggest that the origins of the house are earlier. Relatively recent history of the house indicates that it was a Post Office until 1938 and an eccentric artist purchased the house and added a considerable quantity of quality period features, including the dramatic front entrance canopy. This handsome building is constructed mainly with a timber frame and rendered elevations and is Grade II Listed, considered to be of architectural and historical merit. The present owners have been generous custodians and have repaired, modernised and extended, most recently adding an oak framed garden room at the back of the house and the installation of a very high quality kitchen. In addition, the accommodation includes four reception rooms, a study and office, ground floor wet room, master bedroom with a large en suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The ground floor study could easily be converted to a ground floor/fifth bedroom.
Outside, a gated access to the side of the house leads to a parking area and single garage. Adjoining the garage is a period outbuilding divided in to three sections and providing a useful workshop and garden store. The gardens are well-established and enclosed on all sides, mainly by close boarded fencing and include an extensive terrace, shrub and herbaceous borders. The garden in total extends to approximately 0.33 of an acre.
