Full Description

Little Bower is a three hundred and fifty year old cottage set in the picturesque countryside of North Essex, surrounded by open fields and woods, just off a single vehicle lane. There is room for two vehicles on the drive and at least two vehicles directly outside.

Originally a two bed cottage, it has been sympathetically extended over the past twenty five years to provide a substantial four bed, two bath property. A large conservatory has been added at the rear of the property in the past year.

Outside on the very secluded quarter of an acre plot, there is a walled garden area, a large expanse of lawn, holly fur trees and topiary hedges and a heated outdoor swimming pool with a roman end incorporating steps.

The large summer house holds the swimming pool plant and has been fully insulated and sound proofed being a former studio. There is a one hundred amp electrical supply to this building, numerous thirteen amp sockets and an outside water tap.

The interior of the cottage is mainly exposed beams with an open fire place in the main room and an inglenook fire place, housing a wood coal burning stove, in the lounge. Heating is via an oil fired boiler and a forty year old original AGA in the kitchen that also provides hot water. Unusually for a building of this character, it is NOT listed.

If you are looking for complete peace and tranquility this really is the home for you, as the nearest neighbours are approximately one hundred metres away.
