Property Description
Shepherds Cottage is a charming, semi detached Grade II Listed cottage of individual style and distinctive character, occupying a lovely location on the outskirts of this highly desirable village. The property contains all the features associated with a building of this age including exposed timbers and brick fireplaces, yet has the benefit of an adjacent modern self-contained annexe and garage. The rear porch and hallway lead into the property, where a ground floor shower room is located. The main reception room is broadly divided into two areas, partly separated by open timber stud work with fireplace at either end, windows to the front and staircase rising to the first floor. A separate dining room also features a fireplace and links to a modest kitchen area containing cupboards and work surfaces with space for appliances. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, all separately accessed from the landing and each containing an abundance of exposed timbers.
Outside, the property has a separately accessed annexe providing useful, additional living space or guest accommodation comprising a bedroom area, mezzanine, shower and conservatory which opens out to the rear garden. A lovely feature of Shepherds Cottage are the delightful gardens extending to the rear of the property, arranged in two sections, separated by a stream, with both areas linked by a wooden foot bridge. The garden directly to the rear measures approx. 36ft deep max x 55ft wide and contains a wide variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees including a paved seating area. A wooden bridge leads to the large lawn (approx. 81ft x 70ft) which features a timber pergola and ultimately backs onto open farmland, over which there are lovely distant countryside views. In addition, the property also has the benefit of a small parcel of land opposite.
Arkesden is a highly regarded Essex village with its mixture of period and modern properties set amidst undulating countryside. Facilities include a church, an Inn, village hall and a playing field. The village of Clavering is 2 miles away and has a village shop, Inns and primary school. The historic market town of Saffron Walden lies 7 miles distant offering a range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities and the City of Cambridge lies to the north. The mainline railway station at Audley End (3 miles) has commuter services to London (Liverpool St).
