Lucas Hill Cottage, Little Bardfield, CM7 4TU

The Property

Lucas Hill Cottage is a rare find; a beautiful three bedroomed cottage with some outstanding features in a particularly scenic location. A large hallway (with plenty of space for additional storage if required), leads on to a beautiful fitted kitchen with butler sink and range cooker, a large sitting room with cream log-burner, a light and airy dining room, a useful study/TV room and a stunning, timber-framed garden room. There is also a utility/WC on the ground floor. The staircase leads to a large landing space (almost another room in its own right!) which, in turn, leads on to three good-sized bedrooms, one of which boasts a very smart ensuite bathroom with roll-top bath and striking beamed ceiling and a further family shower room. This property is finished to a very high standard and early viewing is encouraged.
The outdoor space will also not disappoint! The views from both the front and the rear of the property are outstanding, stretching across acres of open farmland. The large garden itself is mainly lawned and combines formal hedging features with mature trees and plenty of open space. There is a driveway with plenty of parking along with an attached double garage.

Location

Little Bardfield is a small, picturesque village just two miles from the ancient wool town of Thaxted. The church and cricket ground play host to village activities and more local facilities (shops, post office, pubs, restaurants, primary schools and an impressive doctors surgery) are located in the larger nearby villages of Great Bardfield (1 mile) and Finchingfield (3 miles).
Centrally located for the market towns of Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow (12 and 8 miles respectively), the village is popular with commuters with easy access to the M11 and mainline stations into London Liverpool Street at Audley End (14 miles), Bishops Stortford (15 miles) and Stansted Airport (12 miles).
There are also a number of state and independent schools nearby including Saffron Walden County High, several village primary schools and Felsted Junior and Senior schools. Further afield, Cambridge, Bishops Stortford, Chelmsford and Bury St. Edmunds (all 25 - 30 miles) offer an even greater selection of independent schools and extensive shopping facilities.
This is a particularly unspoilt part of North Essex with stunning surrounding countryside, perfect for horse-riding, dog-walking and rambling; perfect for those seeking the elusive work/life balance!
